For the third time in four years, the Clemson Tigers won a CFB semi-final game by 20+ points. This time it came against Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl and it told us a lot about the Tigers. Clemson’s schedule has often been called into question, and deservedly so. Notre Dame was the first top 25 rated team per current (Jan 2) S&P+ they’ve faced since Texas A&M. They looked really good blowing out the likes of Wake Forest, NC State, Florida State, and Pittsburgh, but that doesn’t always translate when the competition level steps up.
