All that being said, I think Clemson drops to about #6 or #7 and stays in the mix.
Clemson's Dabo Swinney congratulates Syracuse in their locker room
Clemson fell Friday night to Syracuse 27-24, but Clemson's head coach Dabo Swinney still spoke to the winning team after the game.
According to ESPN's David Hale, Coach Swinney ventured over to the Syracuse locker room after the game to congratulate the Orange on their upset of second-ranked Clemson Tigers.
According to David Hale, "Zaire Franklin said Dabo Swinney sought out Steve Ishmael in the locker room to compliment his game, addressed all the players to congratulate them on the win, and even took pictures with a couple players. "That's one of the classiest things I've seen in my life," Franklin said. "To have been knocked down like that and have the humility to come talk to us, that was cool as hell."
After seeing that, Syracuse's defensive lineman Kayton Samuels posted this on his Twitter account.
Swinney also congratulated Dino Baber's following the game and in his post-game press conference said, "We're disappointed. There's a lot of pain in our locker room but listen this is a story about Syracuse."
