Define "rosier". Clemson often cracks the top 10. They are in a BCS conference, which means they have a shot at the NC. That they haven't followed thru or "choke" as many will say, does not matter to a 17 year old. Him and his group will think they will win.

When Clayton, Spears, Hill all signed with LSU in 2001, do you think most people thought they would win a NC at a school that hadn't come close to sniffing one in 43 years? Has the last 10 years at Clemson been anywhere close as bad as the 10 years before 2001 were at LSU? Clemson has won a MNC more recently than LSU had at that point. I know its fun to bash teams like Clemson, but they are a major program.
