Dabo has 10 of those.
What are the 3 that we won without Dabo as head coach?
I think I know 2 of them. 1. ‘81 national championship - I think Nebraska was ranked 4th 2. 2003 upset over FSU. I think they were top-5.
What is the other one?

Yes Sir, FSU was #3 in 2003. I was at that game, very loud.

Georgia in 1981? I know we beat them. I assume they were top 5 since they had just won the national championship in 1980

Dabo has 10 wins against top 5 foes. I wonder how many Top 5 wins Ryan Day has?

My guess is his next one and one more will be two. But I’m not sure.

Wasn’t Tennessee up there when we beat them in the Peach? 2003 season?

Not sure about all-time, but they are 13-3 against top 5 teams under Dabo. The 3 losses are, Alabama (2x) and LSU last year. So two were in National Championship games and the second loss to Alabama was when Kelly Bryant was the qb.
I'm attaching a link to an article about Clemson's dominance over ranked teams under Dabo. They have the best record in games against ranked teams the past few seasons with a 22-3 record. 0-4 St is second to our Tigers at 21-4.

Nice catch. 14-3 would be the correct record now after Clemson new #2 Notre Dame in the ACC championship
The Tigers have a unique chance at history. They have a chance at playing the top 3 teams in back to back to back games. I don't think that's been done before. There would be ZERO doubt about a Clemson title after running that guantlet of games

Wow, so the totals are

Dabo Swinney 10 Danny Ford 2 Tommy Bowden 1
?
I would have expected Danny to have more than just two. I guess his “big wins” were relative to our program’s standing then, compared to now.
These are the best of times, boys!
