...I also really enjoyed listening to that secfans.com podcast -- they really knew their stuff. When they broke down the ND-'Cuse game, it really brought home for me how weak Clemson's schedule through a VERY poor ACC has been. Their best, and only notable win, is against Texas A&M. And they won by 2 points.
ND would beat Clemson by a TD if they played a disciplined, clean football game. The only thing that would lose the game for them is mental mistakes/turnovers/special teams snafus. ND has more talent overall, IMO.
