Agree, but I guess I'm still wanting to put the conference championship in the bag and then clean up the bad losses. Win the conference a few years and even 1 loss teams can slip into the CFP.
Let me help by changing the subject. Anyone else shocked by the announcers comments on Alabama having no depth on the D-line?
How do you have a roster full of blue chip players and not have any depth????

Clemson is right in the middle of some of the most fertile recruiting grounds in the entire country. Its right next to four states, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.
To think this could ever happen at ISU if funny.

I hope so. But posts like this give a good laugh to the TOE, and rightfully so.
It’s never good when a someone says, oh look, it’s like a cute little puppy in your pants.
It wasn't too long ago that people were posting things like this about whether we could recruit any great defensive linemen at all. We've seen that change.
Clemson has had a very good team in the past few years. Clemson has ridden the economic/population wave that has taken place in the Atlanta/Greenville during the 30+ years that I have live here. When I moved here, I remember thinking that South Carolina had a population equal to that of Iowa. Not so now.
With a student population of 2/3 of ISU and a stadium of 1 1/2 times that of Jack Trice, they have capitalized on the Southeast football craze. Money flows in. A big reason for Clemson success is that they play their scheduled games in the ACC, nicely removed from the SEC competitive field.
Having said all of that, fans and players love everything that Swinney stands for. Google his life story if you want to know more about more.
A lot of people are making fun of this, but does anybody actually think Campbell is sitting in his office thinking, "If only we can make the conference championship game." or "If only we can beat Iowa."
His goals are a little higher, and by the fact that he seems pretty intent on staying here means he believes he can achieve it here.

We may be on a similar path of increasing our status in college football, with a much lower starting point and a much lower ceiling.
If Iowa State keeps getting that many fans to bowl games they are gonna have the pick of the litter in recruiting. Nattys will be following soon after.
The Athletic has Iowa State at #14 in it's way too early Top 25, even with the losses of David and Hakeem mentioned - https://theathletic.com/754683/2019...-25-preseason-2019-college-football-rankings/
Wow- what's in the Kool Aid this morning? Baby steps, folks. If we can finally kick Iowa's ass or defeat a Herman-led Texas team, we can start thinking bigger.
I do yes. Got one of their deals they regularly offer, and have loved the content they put out
