Playing in the ACC against INFERIOR opponants has given us tiger fans a FALSE perception that we're actually a top tier football team. Well guess what..... we saw otherwise saturday night, AGAIN! As far as Swinney, I like him as a person, seems like a great guy, but good lord people look at the facts.....Since taking over full time in 09, he has played 11 games against NON-ACC BCS conference opponants... He's 3-8 in those games (Auburn twice and KY are the 3 wins). Just b/c we're a top 2 team in the ACC does NOT mean we're a great team outside of the ACC. I myself got fooled into thinking so AGAIN this year just to have it thrown in my face saturday night.....something has got to change. Maybe it's not Swinney but something does. The gap between us and other BCS teams (including SC) is growing bigger and bigger by the year. And it will continue to do so b/c recruits see these games, they see who's winning and who's not, they see what leagues/teams get respect and which ones dont.
Agree 100%... it looks like we've improved b/c we win 10 games, but we see how meaningless those 10 wins are when it comes to judging how good our team is when we step outside of conference play.
