Rank the Clemson teams - 2015 - 2019


Jan 15, 2020, 1:43 PM

I would say:
2018 - Maybe the best ever
2016 - DW4 at his prime
2015 - I will go to my grave believing this team was the most talented in college football that year.
2019 - Great team, but we frankly lost so much leadership from the year before (especially on D). This was supposed to be a rebuilding year.
2017 - not disparaging this team, they we are level below the others for obvious reasons

Agree?

I agree with one exception...I would flip-flop 2015 and 2016. That 2015 team was unbelievably great. It just so happened that the Alabama team we faced that year was NIGHTMARISHLY stout on defense...in my opinion, the best defense Clemson has ever faced. And we still would/should have won that game if not for the gutsy onside kick call by Saban.

So mine in order look like this...

2018
2015
2016
2019
2017

Agree with this, 2015 was better than 2018, and arguably better than 2018, but you can't ignore the win vs. Bama. As has been mentioned, Mike Williams was on that team. Also, don't forget the Cain suspension, and Lawson, Alexander injuries. That team was ridiculously loaded

sorry, meant 2015>2016

Really great teams....but this order seems right.


Jan 15, 2020, 1:49 PM

2015 and 2019 are really close...

I think the 2019 team was probably better but other

programs have kind of caught up to us. Both Ohio State and LSU were quite a bit better than 2015 Bama IMO.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I'll go along with that***

2015 could've easily been better than 2016 but


Jan 15, 2020, 1:57 PM

1) We lost Mike Williams for the season in the 2nd game
and..
2) The defense really faded down the stretch struggling against NC State, Cuse, SC, UNC, and Bama.

2016 OL and running game were way, way better than the 2016 versions. Watson had better rushing and passing numbers in 2015 even without Mike Williams.

sounds right....I think theres a distinct difference b/w....


Jan 15, 2020, 2:19 PM

2018/2016/2015

and

2019/2017



2018/2016/2015 had a great balanced offense AND a dominant Dline w/ the ability to get pressure/push w/ 4.

2019 & 2017 only had ONE of those

Great observation. You're exactly right.

If we had BT Potter kicking off in 2015 we would've won the national championship.

Change my mind.

I think we would be remiss if we didn't point out that


Jan 15, 2020, 4:19 PM

all of these teams finished in the top 5.

Seems reasonable to me***
