Regular season performances since 2000 - where does this rank?

Setting aside the "Thrilla in Manila" type games against Bama, which sort of fit in their own category (2011, 2019, 2022) and also that this is early and we do not know (yet) how good this Clemson team is going to end up being, where does this fit within the context of:
50-7 vs aTm in 2019
66-38 Vandy 2019
41-3 Kentucky 2014
Obviously, a lot of 2019 games could be on this list. What about 2023 Auburn and Mississippi State? Missouri 2016? UGA 2018 (+20 over #2)? Ole Miss 2022 (+25 over ranked Ole Miss)?
I mean 38 first downs suggests this game was not as close as the 41-point margin suggests.
Frankly, this does feel more like a 63 - 3 than a 51-10. Thoughts?
ETA: VA Tech 2007 belongs on this list - 48-7
Also, 2011 Oregon, 40-27 @ Jerry's World

Dude… same result as VA Tech to start whatever season that was many years ago and the 2000s

This game reminds me of 2007 VaTech. Hopefully we are holding the national championship trophy

Felt like Va Tech 2007. Although that team finished better than what this Clemson team will probably do

The last time I saw this much balance on both sides of the ball was 2019

2007 - yeah, the fact that VT turned into a very, very good team was one of the deciding factors in LSU making the big game with 2 losses.
Good point.

There was a State game when LSU never punted.

For the competition level this was the most lopsided defensive win in a long long time.
The offense came out swinging. Had a miss. But, never slowed down.
Very well disciplined as a whole.
Even the third string!!!!

No, that was a Tiger Stadium night game.

Didn’t it rain at the VA Tech game too?

11 Oregon
Jerry's World game - season opener - 40-27, Oregon was #3.
Yeah, that one felt like a stomping considering how well Oregon was regarded. That team finished 11-2, with the only other loss to USC. The beat ranked Arizona State at home, #3 Stanford @ Stanford and beat #9 Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl.

Not regular season but I think you gotta throw in the Miami bowl blowout as far as marquee point in time, trajectory type wins.

Oklahoma in 2019 would fit that category as well (if we considered post-season).

2007 vs. Virginia Tech and 2003 vs. Arizona.
Two other postseason games came to mind for me. 2005 Peach Bowl vs. Miami, and then on a different level of changing paradigms across college football, the 2002 BCSCG, Miami vs. Nebraska.
That game marked a landscape shite with Nebraska moving away from its position as one of the best programs in college football. Different circumstances obviously, but it feels like it could be that type of defining loss for this version of Clemson as a program. Wherever they go from here, it was an awesome run they had. There aren't many dynasties that could legitimately be compared to that Nebraska dynasty.
