Clemmons has at least
on their schedule every year. This is the biggest reason why they seldom go under .500

Hey! We saw this Assistant hiring stuff coming over 5 years ago, heading right between our eyes and, apparently, our staff was reading this Board as we laughed and joked about IPTAY going broke paying those big Assistant Coach salaries. Ha-ha the joke's on us.
As bad we are, as much of a disaster as our team is, we still beat the likely division winner in the ACC on a neutral field. Any more questions?
I think it is hard for some of us SC fans to say ANYTHING good about Clemson. It's really painful watching you guys have the success that you are this year while we are going through so much uncertainty.
Bottom line is that Clemson has basically done all the things you would want out of your team so far this year - won some close ones, won some ugly ones, throw in a whooping or two of a few teams, and play with consistency from an energy/focus standpoint. I don't know why some people can't just admit that.
Assuming you guys make the playoff which seems likely then I guess we'll all really see what Clemson is made of....that's when all this talk will cease to matter. In my own opinion most teams out there this year are flawed - but Alabama playing with a purpose like they are is going to be really hard to beat I think for Clemson or any other team but I guess we'll just have to see. I still feel like there is a very small outside chance we bring it all together and play you guys really tough and give ourselves a chance to win but we shall see if the Gamecocks can hold it together and keep playing hard the remainder of the season.
The people saying 6-3 and 5-4 are just being jealous losers. I realize it's tough to see our rival playing well but let's not go full stupid and start constantly trying to discredit what they have done. They would beat Georgia. They would curb stomp A&M and Tennessee. We easily could have won both and we aren't even close to the team Clemson is. Jealousy is a bad look. Looking at this board every day is depressing. There is more Clemson talk on here than discussion about our boys. It's sad really. Some of you just need to accept Clemson for who they are right now. They are the #1 team in the land and have passed every test handed to them. You guys have them losing to teams that have 3 and 4 losses already. It's mind numbing.
And this is the reason why we can't move on.....celebrating moral victories. Who cares if we beat UNC, how is that helping US?
Let me splain it to ya.........and this should put it into perspective for all the taters out there as well.............
To show the strength (and I use that term lightly) of the ACC, when FSU joined, didn't they win something like 30 ACC games in a row? I mean seriously, they went on a run of like 3 1/2 years before finally dropping a game. Didn't they have another win streak of around 24 games in the conference up to this year (or sometime last year).
Does anyone think the SEC would ever have another team go three years without a loss? That tells you about top to bottom strength vs lack of it (or non-parity) in the ACC.
NOTE: I know I could look up the exact numbers for you for the FSU win STREAKS......but I really don't care about the ACC cause they suck top to bottom.
I will give the taters credit.........they have a good team this year. But make no mistake......their schedule should garner a minimum of 8+ wins per year.
Keep pretending it didn't happen if it makes you feel better.
So winning is a "moral" victory? It's better than losing to UNC. By the way, beating an ACC division champ is a selling point to a recruit if said recruit wants to play against the best in the country. We sell that even during a down year, we can beat their best.
Try again.....
"Normally SEC or ND"
Until this season, when was the last time Clemson played ND?
Has everything to do with your reply. If they are coached so well, recruit so well, and perform so well, then why have we dominated them for so long? Does that help? I can't dumb it down much more than that.
Thanks for the explanation. But I don't know what it has to do with my comments about us getting serious about competing.
Not too good with reading comprehension I see. Can you dumb down enough to read the OP and then read my response to it? I doubt it.
you act like that's losing in the first round of the big dance or something, its freaking hard to make the college football playoffs
I agree.The tooters are doing good this year.No argument here.But if they go up against Alabama the way the Tide has been playing it will be very tough to beat that defense.
Are you slow or just a Clemson fan? Sorry, same thing I guess. The point wasn't that we beat UNC, the point was no matter how bad a team is, it's hard to lose a game in the ACC. It's nearly impossible for a team to have a down year with an ACC schedule because even their best teams are a joke. Other than Florida State and Clemson there isn't another team in the whole conference that is any good at all. Those schools don't care about football. The real question is how does Clemson ever have a season they don't win 10 games?
Is it that you can't answer the question or you just refuse to because it destroys your weak argument?
UPC fans don't debate - especially when things are going well. They march - and think in lockstep.
Life in the mighty mighty SEC, so tough. How many ranked teams? Four, and Mississippi State is a fraud and Florida is a half-fraud. It's a little better than the ACC, but no one's buying the SEC as the NFC South any more. The SEC is littered with mediocre teams, just like the ACC. Clemson is better than any team in the SEC except Bama, and that will be a good game.
With all due respect, as this our rivals' board. I have to ask how beating us 5 of 6 is dominating us for so long. Clemson had won 10 of the last 12 before the 5 game streak. So even with the streak Clemson has still won 11 out of the last 18, and unless something drastic takes place, chances are it will be 12 of the last 19. 5 years in a row is awesome, but it is a small sample size. I tip my hat to you guys for steamrolling us those 5 years. It was very discouraging and I even forgot what it felt like to win and sort of wondered if we ever would again.
I didn't mean any disrespect by this post and don't want to be banned for putting in my 2 cents. Good luck the rest of the year, except against us.
Clemson never has a season like this because they play in the ACC. It would be impossible to have this kind of season with gift wrapped wins on the schedule.
I have to point out that when Clemson played LSU in the 2012 bowl game, who had players dropping like flies? It definitely wasn't Clemson.
You do realize that Alabama is second on the list for longest conference winning streak at 27. FSU's was at 29 with the longest. So our conference has had a 3+ year undefeated team.
Out of curiosity, when we compare schedules between the two teams, why do we always pick the worst 3 or 4 teams they play and the best 3 or 4 we play? Why wouldn't you compare Wofford, App St., Wake, and BC to Citadel, Vandy, UK, and UCF instead? It's obvious, and it comes off as disingenuous every time.

But that wouldn't help the argument.
And Missouri, Kentucky, The Citadel, UCF, Vandy, and Tennessee are better. Come on man. Not trying to start anything, just saying.
LOL
SEC Least is the worst division of all the P5 conferences this year, worse than even the ACC Coastal so tell me about that murderous schedule again?

Hard to believe that when the best team in the Coastal couldn't beat the worst team in the East at a neutral site.
Do you guys think you could beat UNC at home if you were scheduled to play this coming Saturday?
