I am talking about USC, Ohio State and Clemson. All three of these teams lost in their bowl game last season.
USC lost to Tulane in the Cotton 46-45.
OSU lost to GA in the Peach Bowl (play off) 42-41.
Clemson lost to Tennessee in the Orange Bowl. (31-14)
Not comparing the games...all were high major bowls...two were heartbreakers for the losers.
Otherwise....all three of these teams are hellbent on getting to the playoffs and winning a Natty. Notre Dame stands in their way...just like they stand in ours. I just think there's a chip on their shoulder there, that they plan on taking out on ND.. ND should have one of its own for each. We have been spanked by two of these teams recently....and basically have found some redemption with Clemson...but that game is in their house. To sweep these three this season is hard to imagine....but I am trying.
