1. At least a year of unbearable trolling & trash talk

From a Clemson football fan’s perspective, perhaps the most prestigious of all distinctions on the line is the ability to continue unbearable trolling and trash talk that has been so prevalent over the last year, particularly.

Clemson fans love to hold over Ohio State fan’s heads that they’re undefeated against the Buckeyes. There are memes all over the internet pointing to that fact.

But can you imagine what happens if the Buckeyes win?

Ohio State fans have been whining and talking trash to Clemson for a year despite the fact that they lost. Can you imagine how much more unbearable they’ll be if they win? They’ll flaunt Dabo Swinney’s Coaching Poll ranking. They’ll talk about how they ended Clemson’s dynasty and they’ll say that the Tigers never really belonged in the CFB hierarchy any way. They’ll claim the Tigers are dead and that their lack of a prestigious history proves how they’re frauds. The talk will go on and on and on, and it will never end.

Well, at least until Clemson gets a rematch.

Next. Dabo Swinney doesn't care if he hurt OSU's feelings. dark

There’s a lot on the line Friday night and ‘bragging rights’ is certainly one of them. A win and Clemson football fans are flying high. A loss and it’s entire year’s worth of unbearable, pompous, smug and sanctimonious comments from the Buckeye faithful.
