Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney was asked Tuesday if he had any regrets about how he constructed his roster this offseason following the Tigers' 51-10 loss to LSU.

Swinney gave a lengthy response, saying his only regret right now is being 0-1 and that Clemson's roster should be judged after the entire season — not after one game.

Swinney also gave LSU some major praise while defending his program, suggesting that Saturday's loss may have come against "the best team in the country."

Everyone gave Dabo crud last year for saying both teams got failing grades, but he was SPOT on. He deserves a lot of credit for calling things how they are. I think Clemson finishes well and LSU is just a good team this year. We'll see how it ends up, but we've been here before!

I'd like to thinks he's correct in his assessment. It'd be pretty neat to see Clemson run through the ACC like a hot knife and wear Miami out. I can't say that I hate Dabo. He's been a pretty solid coach through the years.

And I thought some people on the Rant were sunshine pumpers. How delusional.

Scratch this comment. I thought it said he thought HIS roster could be the best in the country after it’s said and done. I agree with him now.

I mean, he wasn't that far off with his "grades" from last year's game. LSU executed at a REALLY high level, regardless of how good or bad Clemson was.

That’s right, didn’t he say last year that it was basically two bad teams going up against each other? And that’s what turned out to be true
