Critics give Swinney, Tigers exactly what they want … being the underdog

I understand the folks at ESPN and the other talking heads at the other networks have a job to do. They’re supposed to give their opinions on hot button issues and maybe fire up a fan base or two to help with the ratings.

This week, the flavor of the week happens to be Clemson, and understandably so. The Tigers struggled at unranked and now three-loss North Carolina, where they had to get a stop on a two-point conversion with 1:17 remaining to win the game.

It was an ugly win and the criticism that comes with it was expected.
