re: Is Clemson a bigger underdog than Texas was vs. USC that season?

The game was a toss up to anyone who actually paid attention that year and didn't only go by what they saw on Sportscenter. Texas was a more complete team with a better defense, and was more dominant during the season. The OSU game in the Shoe was close and the A&M game was semi-close and that was it. They spotted Okie State like 3 TDs and still ended up winning by like 3 TDs.

And VY was unstoppable.
