OT: Which fanbase is more upset with a loss Saturday?
- Thread starter Judson1
- Start date
They've won 2 of the last 4 National Championships...I don't know of any Taters that are worried about losing this game and/or not making the playoffs.
I dont know where you are seeing the "pundits" saying Saturday is Clempson's season. They have made the playoffs with a loss more than once and the rest of their schedule after this week is embarrassing. Clempson loses and they drop to what in the polls? 6,7,8? It is the first game....plenty of time to easily get back in the top 4 by the end of their year while Herbie and crew foam at the mouth over their 30+ point wins over the rest of the ACC.
Dont kid yourself. It will take more than a loss to UGA to get the Tigers out of the playoff.
Unfortunately Oklahoma can't afford a loss if the Tater's only loss is to a top 5 SEC team. At the end of the season it always comes down to "Who has the best loss?" and that along with Oklahoma's past in the CFP, Clemson would probably get the nod. Especially coming off a likely top 10-15 win in the ACC Championship game.
They haven't fallen out of the top 5 in like 6 years...I would LOVE to see a UGA victory if for nothing other than that!
The last time we won and Clemson lost on the same day was Jan 1st, 2018. 3 years and 8 months ago.
In reality, neither should be but I guess Georgia. If Clemson loses it wins out due to the cream puff schedule and still gets in the playoff. Georgia is in the same predicament where they still could control their own destiny. But that destiny would include having to beat Alabama in the SEC championship game.
Except the rest of their schedule may keep them out with an undefeated OSU and OU. UGA can recover from a loss. Also, UNC is the favorite to play them in the ACC CG with a better DL with a tricky defense to prepare for and a deep RB room and rushing attack. If UNC is as good as they should be and Clemson's OL is still not living up to their talent level (they never do when you look at how they rate coming in) then that could be a second loss for them and that means they're in a NY6 bowl missing there first playoff since the first playoff. This is a worst case scenario for them but it's possible. If they lose to the two competent teams they play and they're both border teams, suddenly recruiting is harder and the perception starts changing. Clemson has more to lose in this game.
This^. In Georgia fans minds it’s time to step up. Kirby has been there long enough. And losing to neighboring Clemson is beneath most dog fans.
I hate them both. But I’m pulling for UGA because I found out a friend who was a huge fan died today. Hope his dogs can win one for him.
They never accept they deserve to lose a gave, but make no mistake, with the talent they have they are contenders every year, but they falter on the execution.
But those teams play much better schedules and earn their way in and aren't bordered by and recruiting against recruiting juggernaut Georgia and upstart University of Non-Compliance.
There's also the question if who has the best win, doubt Clemson has a strong answer compared to OSU and Oklahoma by the end of the season if they get the L against UGA.
Who would be Oklahoma's best win and loss? They haven't finished with less than 2 losses in 6 years.
That's counting losing in the playoffs, Clemson has the easiest strength of schedule if any contenders.
What sounds great about it? They're still most likely out recruiting us, I was saying that the reason people play for Clemson is to play for championships, if they lose twice in a season to two of the 4 closest schools to them which would also be contenders, do you seriously think it wouldn't be harder for them to recruit those states which they rely on and have gotten the to NC player a couple times in recent years. I didn't say they drop out of the top ten in recruiting and start having losing seasons. I feel like you likely put more on what I said then is justified. There's a difference between really good and elite, all I was saying is Clemson may just get on the other side of that thin line.
And just to be clear, I'm not hoping for this, I just think it happens, Clemson lost the best RB in ACC history, his backups weren't impressive, their DL never looks good against the really good teams, Sam Howell is supposed to be a Heisman contender and we all know UGA is good. If North Carolina and UGA beat Clemson they're both in the playoffs, UGA with a loss to Bama gets in and no one else is catching them if they top Clemson, and if UNC is good enough to top Clemson they likely walk their schedule, which is also way tougher than Clemson. After that, we're screwed because a fence is gonna go up around NC and neither Clemson or us are getting blue chips out of there.

Better take away Chump's headset or you will really see some sh!t! And I do think UGA's fanbase will take it harder because of this year's expectation and all the 5 star talent.
What gives you the impression that UNC has the better DL. Clemson is looked at to be one of the best in college football. We haven’t seen the teams so that’s about all we can go on.
I just feel like they never look as good against good OL and UNC has recruited just as well and I feel like they've performed as well. Thomas to me hasn't been good and he's starting for Clemson.
I bet they have 3 first or second round guys on their DLine right now. Tomorrow will be a good test for both Georgia and Taters offensive lines.
Yeah, I'm not sure Miami really has a fanbase, at least not in traditional college way.
When they were good, people/celebrities wore their gear. That’s more than the actual Miami students could ever say. In 87’, their student section was 1/3 full….they were all smoking weed in the parking lot. I talked to a cop on horseback and he just said,” that’s the city.”
Well I guess we can't lean on the UNC argument now. Lets just hope Smart doesn't coach as stupid as he usually does tonight against the Taters.
Yeah, I was wrong, UNC got dominated in the trenches and I thought they were taking a step, but let's not forget they were rated 10, I wasn't alone in being wrong, and you never know about any team until they play.
That theory of UNC having a great DL has been shot down....UNC's defense looked below average against the Hokies...A high powered offense is going to run all over them this year...
That may depend on how many one-loss teams there are. The loser of this game probably will not have a "signature win" this season, regardless of which team it is..
UGA is that friend that always strikes out going after a seven or hotter, when reality that friends is more or less on the level of a three. Even if they get a number, you know the big dance won't happen.
Why is it Freddie comes up with these off the wall posts that are totally ignorant but people respond to them? OK I'm guilty but he's still ignorant.
Well, as long as I'm not as ignorant as you, I know I haven't hit rock bottom. You are lower than mole sh%t. That was my honest prediction at the time. You're just full of sh$t and dumb as hell to boot.
If you had read my entire post you ignorant pos you would have read where I said I won't bet on the game but it was just a feeling. What a dumb and ignorant pos you are. If I were as dumb as you, I'd never post again to avoid other people seeing how dumb you really are.
Besides the post was just kind of fun. I mean it's okay to post something that is a long shot. Everyone, including the bookmakers thought Miami was going to be better than they played tonight.
