I doubt it's working with Clemson fans. I imagine he's getting a lot of likes from usuc and from ugay fans who are so desperate to achieve some semblance of success, even if they have to claim the success of other conference members as their success by association. Pretty sad, really, and they don't even have the excuse of tough academic standards for athletes to blame it on. (Granted, ugay has benefited academically from the "HOPE Scholarship" where HS kids get better grades in an attempt to insure free college, but their athletes are not sharp knives in the drawer). As Vince Dooley once said of their academic cheating, "well, at least they could get jobs at the Post Office".

Re: TNET: FOX's Cowherd says Clemson is second-tier among CFB's top programs


Jun 23, 2020, 5:04 PM

He isn't really talking about the "program" but the history of the school or "blueblood" status. A program is very much relevant in the time they are participating in. Alabama didn't have a very good program before Saban arrived. Clemson has one of the top 2 programs in the nation right now.

Historical status can be argued until your blue in the face, but he is selling Dabo short with 5 years. He has had a decade run and Clemson is already historically relevant to anyone under the age of 30. At what point does that opinion just become a nostalgic look at the past 50-60-70? Ask Nebraska how history is treating them?

Agreed. Nebraska would have probably been in his top tier in 1995, but they have not been relevant in 20 years. His 2nd tier though is a great group to be associated with and I can't argue with him from a historical standpoint except I would not include Oregon.

Dabo led Clemson to the first 15-0 NC season, and those teams and coached he talks about couldn't, and they had the same chance as Dabo and Clemson had to be the first in the college FB playoff era. If someone was to tell Cowherd that he could trip over his own shadow, he would be stupid enough to try it!!!

He's actually flat out wrong. His words were
"If Florida State had Bobby Bowden in his prime RIGHT NOW and Miami had Jimmy Johnson in his prime against Dabo Swinney -- Clemson's not making the Playoff"

Those guys had there best teams when they were cheating. They wouldn't even be allowed to have a post season in today's NCAA. Prime or not. (unless they got bought off like UNC basketball).

PLUS, those guys coached smash mouth football. And that aint allowed anymore. If were talking about past coaches in todays league, Dabo and Venables are who I'm putting my money on. Same goes for Bear bryant, Pete carrol, so on and so forth. Again this is if we're talking todays game. The rules have changed. The schemes have changed. The coverage has changed. And clemson knows exactly what they're doing in todays game.

Oklahoma? Colin is showing his age. The last time Oklahoma was tier one was in the 1980's when they still had Switzer and still running the wishbone. They did lose to Clemson in 1988. The most current run by Oklahoma ends with a semi final playoff loss every year.

If he’s talking “historically”, then I don’t have a real problem with what he’s saying, except:
1/Us in our prime with Dabo playing those great Miami and FSU teams would definitely be challenging, BUT we’d win just as many against those cats as they’d against us. And I’d put my money on us to win more than lose against them based on “intangibles”.
2/I’d actually put ND and Michigan in that top tier based on their history and number of NC’s

Ohio State has two in the last eighteen years (2002 and 2014). The last one was six years ago.

Southern Cal (LOL), claims two National Championships in the last 18 years (2002 and 2004). Of course,
they were forced to vacate the 2004 championship because of NCAA rules violations related to Reggie Bush.

In defense of Cowherd, he was talking about all time programs and popularity.


Jun 23, 2020, 5:52 PM

Let’s be honest, all time, we are definitely in the top 15 but not top 4. His point was that when those top 4 programs are at their best, college football is at their best. I don’t really disagree with him there.

His list by no means was a representation of current things. He said that a few times. I listened live when he talked about it.

Sometimes I think our fan base is a little too sensitive to things and we hear what we want to hear. Probably the case for all fan bases though.

He's being a history buff for the ratings . Last time USC was relevant on a national level was nearing 2 decades ago .
I'll grant him Bama and Ohio State , they've proven staying power and are currently putting their best foot forwar .
Oklahoma , is second tier . I would replace them with LSU , because LSU has 2 national championships in the last 2 decades .
Clemson has to be named top tier , not because I love the Clemson Tigers but bygawd because we beat up on teams like Auburn , FSU , Miami . If you want to go historical with your list making Cowherd fine , but state that it's being made out of ethereal air .

Historically, I have no problem with this unless you say Notre Dame deserves to be in instead of Oklahoma. What I can find says Ohio State has 8 National Championships and 40 Conference Championships. SC has 11 and 39. Alabama has 17 and 31. Notre Dame has 11 National Championships and certainly is hurt because of not being in a conference.

If you go on recent history, certainly our Tigers would be on everyone's Top 4 list.

We have to do what we’ve done for the next 20 years to be considered among the top 5 programs in history!!! We will with Dabo...but make no mistake about it...all great runs come to an end...ours will also...the thing is...can we stay in it for the long haul???

We nor anyone else will know until we know...Amd that will take time!!! Lol!!!

I bet he has favorite little toys in the bathtub--a big grey elephant(they don't float well), some nuts-(momma forgets sometimes and thinks he pooped in the tub), a little wagon that the wheels fall off, and this big long rubber tube thingy which he tries to pull over his little head.Today-he got his head all the way in his rubber and into (where momma told him poop came from)and began gasping for air. He came out yelling jibberish about football-like some dork with his head up his butt. Imagine-playing in the tub with your favorite toys, getting your head stuck up your butt and emerge a Fox football analyst. I guess if you drop the "yst" it makes more sense.

The argument he's presenting and the argument he's


Jun 24, 2020, 8:43 AM

supposedly presenting are two different things.

What he's actually arguing is more like blue blood status and how good programs have been at their absolutely peak at different points in history.

That's absolutely a different argument than who's in the top tier of CFB programs right now.

Historically, Bama, OSU, USC, and OU have been better than Clemson. Those programs all have many more titles and have been far more consistent throughout history than Clemson.

Right now, however, only Bama is at the same level as Clemson with OSU a step behind and OU two or three steps behind. USC is currently being lapped.

Right now the top tier of CFB is absolutely Bama, Clemson, and Ohio State. Nobody else is in tier 1.

...here would have been a time for such a word.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time.
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle.
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Cowherd is a big USC fan so no surprise with including them.

"If Florida State had Bobby Bowden in his prime RIGHT NOW and Miami had Jimmy Johnson in his prime against Dabo Swinney -- Clemson's not making the Playoff"


That's not even an argument. Same hypothetical BS as, "Well, if Duke had an NFL caliber team, they would win more games."

How does this dope even have a show?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I'm not sure that's even true anyway


Jun 24, 2020, 9:29 AM

Peak 80s Miami under Jimmy Johnson was probably better than 2015-2020 Clemson, but I'm not sure you can really say that about most of Bobby Bowden's teams during their run from 87-2000. They were really good, but Clemson has been really good too and the schedules aren't even that different. They couldn't get past Miami like we've been able to do twice against Bama.

Those Miami teams were lights out, but you can’t tell me they’d beat our recent teams. It would be a heck of a battle, but I’d say we’d have the edge.

Re: TNET: FOX's Cowherd says Clemson is second-tier among CFB's top programs


Jun 24, 2020, 11:17 AM

If you compare both programs over the last 5 years it’s not even close. Clemson’s W-69 L-5 while appearing in all 5 college playoff games and 4 NC games. We have 4-0 record against OSU giving Urban his only shut out in college football. The last time USC won a NC was was 2003. They had to vacate 2004 which involved the Reggie Bush scandal. The last 5 years USC’ record has been W’s-42 Loses-24. They have lost 3 out of their last 4 BG’s and in 2018 had a losing season and only won 5 games with 7 loses. Sort of like last year’s fake USC aka U of SC. Check the status as well as quality wins and who has been to the CFP’s every year!

Did Cowherd just pull their name from a hat?? No way CLEMSON is not ranked as #1 or #2. Cowherd pulls this same old crap every year not giving Clemson the Respect it has earned.

He show use to be pretty good but like Finebaum I think he had lost his freaking mind. He just can’t get a handle on Clemson’s Success. ??????

Well, Cowherd's an expert on second rate, but he has a point


Jun 24, 2020, 11:19 AM

I think he's right that some programs like Ohio State and Alabama have a significant infrastructure such that they are set-up for success with a mediocre coach.

I think he is ABSOLUTELY wrong about Clemson not being playoff bound if Bobby and Jimmy were at FSU and Miami, respectively. Unless you go back in time. Bobby didn't do anything better than Dabo's doing. He doesn't have better recruits, better facilities or a better culture. He doesn't have better coaches. He wasn't a better recruiter. No doubt we would have battles but we'd still have won more than our share.

Jimmy would get trounced. He couldn't run a program in 2020 like he did in the 80s. Dabo would crush him.

He's being a history buff for the ratings . Last time USC was relevant on a national level was nearing 2 decades ago .
I'll grant him Bama and Ohio State , they've proven staying power and are currently putting their best foot forwar .
Oklahoma , is second tier . I would replace them with LSU , because LSU has 2 national championships in the last 2 decades .
Clemson has to be named top tier , not because I love the Clemson Tigers but bygawd because we beat up on teams like Auburn , FSU , Miami . If you want to go historical with your list making Cowherd fine , but state that it's being made out of ethereal air .

********************************

CORRECTION: LSU has THREE NCs in the past 20 years. Is one of only 2 teams with more than 2 NC Game Wins.

Don'T have much use for Cowherd but rankings change if you are looking at last year, last 5 years, last 20 years, since AP Poll started or distant history.

vs. OK, AL, or OSU, but I disagree when it comes to USC. That program has been down since the 70's save 5 years in the early 2000s when they were cheating their butts off.

Colin Cowherd is in LA. He has to cater to his local audience. The ACC wasn't weak or trash just 3 years ago. FSU was relevant and Jimbo ran for the hills, he saw the writing on the wall. Louisville had Lamar Jackson....Saban has been at Alabama this whole time, and Dabo beat him , embarrassed him the last time the two played. Last time I checked, Auburn, Texas a+m, South Carolina, Alabama, Oklahoma, Ohio St, and Notre Dame are not in the ACC and Clemson has been beating all of them too.... Clemson is FSU in the 90s right now. The 90s FSU and current Clemson can't exist together, they have the same quality players from the same places. I wish Miami would wake up and get all that south Florida talent, the ACC would have what's going on in the SEC now, Georgia vs Alabama.... Lastly, so what. Colin Cowherd is not the emperer of college football and neither is Paul Finebaum.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Cowherd and the talking heads use contrarian thoughts...


Jun 25, 2020, 2:59 AM

...to gain attention. That’s all this ploy is. Alabama claims several questionable National Championships that they self awarded before the actual National Championship was started. They actually were awarded 15 National Championships according to the NCAA. Clemson has climbed to the top tier and has been a mainstay for half a decade. That is considered a legendary run. To win two National Championships from Alabama is pretty amazing. As long as Dabo stays at Clemson, this run will continue for the foreseeable future. Dabo is the best at finding hidden gems in the recruiting process. He turns no stars and three stars into blue chip quality players. He truly is an X’s and O’s guy which no one gives him the credit for. I can almost agree to us being second tier. But, keep this run going and before you know it we are sitting on 8 National Championships tied with USC and catching Notre Dame and surpassing the mighty Ohio State Buckeyes. In this world of fake news, Cowherd is just doing what he needs to-to draw attention to himself and gain listeners. He knows Clemson is solidified as a top tier powers house, but contradicting the narrative got us all buzzing. Cowherd got what he wanted. That said, Go Tigers! I have been a loyal fan since my first game in Death Valley in 1976! I couldn’t be more proud to be a Tiger. I have 3 degrees, two from rival ACC schools because of geography and a late education. I don’t claim loyalty to UNC Chapel Hill or Duke University. I like those schools and got a great education. But, I bleed orange and purple!

Top Tier


Jun 26, 2020, 1:43 PM

If we use ONE YEAR, there are 3 teams: CU, LSU, tOSU.

If we use FIVE Years, CU certainly is in there.

If we use 20 yrs, CU may or may not be in Tier One.

If we use Ancient History, everything changes.
