Because their hopes and dreams were not dashed in their previous game.  Why is this so hard to understand?
2018 teams eligible to not play motivated:
Michigan
Georgia

2017
Auburn - L
Wisconsin - W

2016
Michigan - L

2015
Iowa - L

2014
N/A

2013
Missouri - W
Ohio State - L


These teams were going to be in the NCCG or CFP, but lost their last game of the season, rendering their big goals moot.  Only two of them won in such a case.  This isn't some convoluted BS, based on Bama losing to Utah in 2008, it's a real, live thing.  It doesn't guarantee a loss in their bowl game, but it does guarantee these 21 year old kids have less to play for than they did the game before, and often times, this affects their play.  Period.

Ahem.

ND is balls out.. fired up and trying... Clemson is playing like Clemson... they play like FSU of nineties vintage.  meaning, the play 30 minutes of football- you just don't know when they'll start playing and when they'll stop- but you can be sure it'll be 30 minutes- no more, no less.

But when the balls-to-the-wall team doesn't get a lead while playing that way, they run out of gas and get curb-stomped.

Yeah, when Clemson finally decides to play this is gonna get ugly.  Clemson just got the call on the k/o fumble.  This may be what kickstarts them.

In making that call- they had to assume a football is flat.

That's what I was thinking too. Now we know who is supposed to win at least. That was far from conclusive evidence.

UVA skunked USCe 28-0.  SEC.
Granted the game sucked, but that was a half decent matchup to be buried during a NY6 game.
