Serious (Hypothetical) Question...

[Black Bart]

Would Clemp be undefeated with SC's schedule this year? I think not. What say you?

[tprice]

Honestly from what I have seen yes.

Bama would always be a challenge and I thought UGA but more I have seen of them less impressed I am

1 loss tops

[Jay]

Yes

[FishSticker]

An unbiased answer...

Yes.

Bama doesn't have the defense that they are normally known for this year. Linebackers and middle line are a huge liability for them. That should be the only wildcard in your schedule.

Do folks(reasonable folks....not ECU and his cronies that can't talk about football like normal human beings) really feel that if Clemson and UNC played 5 times this season that the game would EVER be that close again? Conversely, do USC fans really believe that if they played UGA 5 times this season that they would win that game even once more?? Not if you actually watch football....

[JJ1965]

If Clemson had to play USC’s schedule, UNC might be the only team that could beat them.
Wait....never mind.

Yeah, still undefeated.

You do realize that just like last year, Clemson hasn’t opened the offensive or defensive playbooks up yet don’t you? Notre Dame and Alabama saw stuff that no one else saw last year on both sides of the ball, and I have a feeling that this year will be the same if they get that far.

[SCDAWG]

OK. How about LSU's schedule? See what Clemson folks don't get is the week in and week out grind. It is easy to slip up, Syracuse, Pitt, and 25 yard straight FG that NC State couldn't make. Every week you are going to have a match up that has a couple guys that can play in the SEC. Have an off week in the SEC, and you can lose.
Hugh Freeze beat Saban back to back in the regular season. That is impressive. The bullshit schedule and then having a month to prepare is different than a week to week. Of all the SEC wins that Clemson has, when did they come and who were the following opponents for either team? Dabo can sit back, but he knows he will be in the playoffs on schedule alone. Other teams schedules play into that confidence as well. He knows everybody in front of him will cannibalize each other while he plays , at best 3 loss team, for a conference championship.
Honest question. What would you consider the toughest 3 game stretch on Clemson's schedule this year?

[JJ1965]

You have to play the schedule you have. Maybe if UofSC would stop scheduling teams like App State and the Citadel, their schedule wouldn’t be so daunting.

[TheVisorGuy]

Meanwhile, App state would be BY FAR clemsons toughest game of the year. Including conference championship

[Sportin' Woodies]

Monday morning jokes.

[BCR3]

As a Carolina fan I think they would be undefeated. Clemson and Alabama are equal offensively but from what I've seen Clemson's defense is better than Bama's. Georgia couldn't score enough to keep up with Clemson, they would score on them for sure, just not enough. As someone mentioned earlier they might would have been tripped up by UNC simply because it was the first game of the year and nobody thought UNC was that good.

Probably do, since all we have heard all year is that UofSC was going to be Clemson’s toughest game.

I believe the Gamecocks will lose by more than 5 to aTm....

Fair question indeed.

And who's Climp's "signature win" this season? And don't gimme no bulljive about the playoffs or NC, because that ain't happened yet. In fact, it's sorta the point.

[TheVisorGuy]

Your point?

How would you know? Serious question.

One could ask the same question about UGA schedule as well...just saying. However, it's not Clemson's fault that A&M, SC, & FSU are not strong teams. Conversely, it's not UGA's fault that FLA, SC, or AUB are not strong teams either. They both however have one thing in common that the rest of the teams don't: Talent. The talent level of your team is what makes games easy/medium/hard. What the coaches do with that talent preparing for a game can mean the difference between winning/losing (SC vs GA, CU vs UNC, SC vs APP State). LSU was hammering Alabama, and managed to keep the lid on the game. SC had an impossible schedule this year based on their talent and coaching ability. In all seriousness, it's college football. Anything can happen on a given Saturday, regardless of talent. Your lack of respect for a team, and the team you pull for having the same lack of respect, can get you an ass whooping any Saturday from September to January.

[SCDAWG]

I still haven't heard the answer to the question about LSU's schedule. Play who you play.... Thing is, even in the bullshit SEC you are going to be playing in front of big crowds on the road. It ain't freakin' Boston, RTP, or the Joke by Coke.

Buckshot, Fla and Auburn were ranked in the top 10. There is that. Wake gets blasted by VT???

Georgia's will be Florida#11 (were #6), Missouri, Auburn( was top 10, Currently #13). 2 ranked teams. I understand we all have different ideas of what good teams are, but they are ranked.

Here's the thing the SEC folks don't get. Only two of them are contenders (LSU and Bama) the rest enjoy the hype of media coverage, while mostly not contributing. The SEC isn't anything special, theyve got bama and lsu and thats about it. LSU hasnt even been a threat until they got a QB who could throw the ball farther than 10 yards. UGA, UF, and Auburn make for good talk, but everyone is honest with themselves knows theyre like kids who starts because they tried hard, not because theyre actually good. Past that, the conference is just as mediocore as everyone else. 2 good teams, 3 oks, and the rest doesn't matter. Thats pretty much every other conference every, the news has just made yall think yall special, everyone else is starting to believe that special the way yall be acting....

ACC is in a down year. The only team that beat Clemson is Clemson. Take it to the bank.

[BuckyTownsend]

The same as Alabama's...
