Good Question. The losses aren't that hard to decide. Not a ton of terrible games to choose from. Wins are tougher.

Best 3:

1. Clemson at Florida State - 10/27/2018 - 59-10 win

Spoiler

This one was absolutely fantastic because Florida State had run the score up against Clemson in 2013, with Jameis Winston throwing hail maries in the fourth quarter. The Seminoles had won 3 of the last 4 games that season and many posters on their boards thought they could pull the upset. Clemson broke the Seminoles in the second quarter, and then the second and third string continued to pile it on, giving the Seminoles their worst loss at Doak in history. The best part is, they know Clemson could have won 80-0, but chose to take the high road instead (which they should have).

2. #6 Notre Dame at #12 Clemson - 10/3/2016 - 24-22 win

Spoiler

3. #3 Louisville at #5 Clemson - 10/1/2016 - 42-36 win (Deshaun (the rightful Heisman) vs. Lamar (the fake))

Spoiler

Worst 2

1. Clemson at Georgia Tech - 11/15/2014 - 6-28 loss

Spoiler

This one was ugly, especially because it was a rivalry game at the end of the season, when Clemson is usually firing on all cylinders, and it was against an opponent they were much better than. Clemson was driving inside the 10 about to go up 10-0 in the first quarter when Deshaun Watson injured his knee and was out for the rest of the game. At that point, they sent in Cole Stoudt, who'd I'd always been a big supporter of. However, he was horrendous. His first throw was an 85 yard pick six. He proceeded to throw two more interceptions, including another pick six. The last three and half quarters, Clemson had 100 total yards and one first down, and Stoudt was 3/11 for 19 yards and 3 interceptions. Just a painful, painful game to watch.

2. Clemson at Syracuse - 10/13/2017 - 24-27 loss

Spoiler

I'm convinced Syracuse intentionally tries to injure Clemson's QB each year. Kelly Bryant wasn't at 100% after spraining his ankle the week before against Wake Forest and couldn't run (and as anyone knows, if Kelly Bryant can't run, he can't do much). Chris Slayton gave him a concussion late in the first half when the game was tied 14-14. Zerrick Cooper came into the game, and he was bad, and made some terrible throws that literally cost the game. On top of that, the playcalling was horrendous and Clemson could not complete any drives. The running backs ripped Syracuse up, averaging over 9 yards a carry, but they only gave the three backs 15 carries total.

Louisville shit the bed in that. How in the world did that Louisville player not dive to make the first down, but instead runs out of bounds... wtf was he thinking. Louisville had that game and pissed it away.

No idea. It was a hell of a game though. Lamar was/is really great. Deshaun was just better (and would have won the heisman had they done it after bowl season the way they should have.

Deshaun should have won it whenever. He seemed in control and looked like a man where Lamar just ran around and looked like a kid compared to Deshaun. I would say that was the biggest snub since Suh.

I don't think a full post is needed to explain Ohio State's worst two.

This was tough, no videos because it took me too long to come up with this list. All of this in the Harsin era where the highs are high and the lows are very very low

Top 3

1. 2017 @ #19 San Diego State - 31-14
-This season had started off horribly, struggling at home against Troy, choking away a big 4th quarter lead to lose to Washington State, struggling with New Mexico, getting housed by Virginia and a win over a bad BYU team. San Diego State meanwhile had beaten Stanford and Arizona State and looked like they were destined for a New Years 6 bowl, we absolutely dominated them and turned our season around.

2. 2015 @ Virginia - 56-14
-Our offense started out slow this season too. Ryan Finley got hurt the week before so Brett Rypien as a freshman was making his first career start across the country on the road. Didn't feel like this would go well, yet we blew them out.

3. 2018 UConn - 62-7
-UConn sucked, but when you rack up 818 yards on an opponent it needs to make the list.


Bottom 2
1. 2015 @ Utah State - 26-52
-This happened only a few weeks after the Virginia game. An absolute 8 turnover debacle

2. 2015 New Mexico - 24-31
- 2015 brings up a lot of bad memories. Never had I see a game where we pissed down our leg so often. Constant mistakes on all sides of the ball. We had no business losing this game at home. Just look at these stats.

#1. 2017 vs. Miami - From an embarrassing standpoint.
#2. 2015 vs Stanford - From a gut punch standpoint.

Top 3:

1. @Florida 2015: Held the Gaturds to a safety at their home field in their first year with McElwain as the head coach. And LOL Gators

2. vs. Clemson 2014: Jameis suspended for shouting FHITP on a table on campus and SMag taking over and performing decently enough for FSU to get the win in overtime.

3. vs. ULMonroe 2017: Odell Haggins had been coaching at FSU since 1994 and was given the interim coaching tag after some jackass left for Texas A&M. Got the W, kept the bowl streak alike, even if it ended the next year and won the bowl game as well.


Bottom 2:

1. @Louisville 2016.. 63-20 Hellllo Lamar Jackson holy shit that was ugly

2. vs. UNC 2016.. walk off 54 yard field goal and then watched the dude run around the field doing the tomahawk chop. Irritating as hell. Some dude named Mitchell Trubisky had a big game
