Can someone please...

Do a side by side comparison of CU and SCar schedules? Apparently every gamecock twitter handle is promoting a pic of Clemson's schedule with cupcakes beside each opponent except uga, FSU, and scar.
When I looked I actually thought week by week when comparing teams it was about even or ours was a little more competitive.

That's because the Coots ARE the cupcake for most teams.

Of course all their games are a challenge.

Wow. There is no way that schedule is more difficult than ours, especially assuming Louisville and UNC are going to be fringe top 25 teams.

I'm thinking 8 - 4 or 9 - 3
Jul 23, 2014, 4:54 PM

They play six games that could be objectively considered toss-up games at this point (A&M, Georgia, Missouri, Tennessee, Florida and Clemson). They won''t win them all but they won't lose them all either, so in fairness, let's just say 3 - 3.
Most will agree that Auburn is a likely loss.
The remainder of the schedule are all likely wins
That's 8 - 4.

They'll be favored at home but I doubt by double digits.***

I don't even @mention anyone. Just make statements like "Clowney will struggle to get 3 sacks in the NFL" and "Clemson vs. SCAR prediction: Clemson 52 SCAR 17" and they come right to you. I think there's a word for what I'm doing there.

It's tough to say...
On their side, will Florida be back? Will Mizzou and A&M be anywhere as good as they were last year? Is this Tennessee's year to turn it around (not likely)?
On our side, how will UNC and Louisville be? Will Boston College be even better? What about Ga Tech?
A lot of question marks on both teams' schedules.

We're away on our toughest games at the beginning of the year...that alone make our schedule harder.

Coots do this every year
Jul 23, 2014, 5:04 PM
[ in reply to Re: Can someone please... ] |

We're in the ACC, so CLEARLY our schedule is weak compared to their schedule.
However, if they would take the time and read our complete schedule and not focus on SC State or Wake Forest and not be so biased, they would see our schedule isn't a cakewalk.
But I'm probably wrong. Vandy is sure to be a juggernaut this year and win the SEC East. Scar will beat them by 20 but find a way to lose to UT, UK, and some other SEC team that couldn't compete in the Sunbelt Conference.

* 8 home games
What makes their schedule more cupcake than ours is most of their toughest games are at home. No tough away game until Clemson.
Texas A&M* - No Johnny Football, no defense
East Carolina - PLEASE
Georgia* - Loss to the Dawgs
Vanderbilt* - Baseball school
Missouri* - even
Kentucky* - Our Wake Forest
Furman - Whatever
Auburn* - BAD Loss in front of home crowd
Tennessee* - Terrible team
Florida* - didn't make a bowl
South Alabama - Whatever
at Clemson - Will talk trash till we pound them.

My personal, objective opinion on it
Jul 23, 2014, 4:58 PM
|

TAMU: No more Johnny, no more real threat. Duke took them to the wire with a Heisman winner, so unless every new recruit was on defense, not nearly as threatening
East Carolina: For a non-FBS school, fairly decent team. But this is hardly a tough game for them
Georgia - N/A since we're both playing them. Tough game, though they get them at home and Clemson plays them fresh, so I'd say we have a harder game
Vandy - Lost H/C, don't know much else about their team, but they're as threatening as Pitt to me, which isn't much
Mizzou - Lost a lot of their talent, including I believe their QB and top WR, and Michael Sam, who was their stud on D. Also get them at home
Kentucky - Didn't win an SEC game last year, only won 2 through the year. No threat
Furman - Less threatening that E. Carolina
Auburn - Tough game, especially since they are away for it. With no injuries one way or another, equal to our FSU challenge (though FSU is the current champs...so again, may be tougher for us)
Tennessee - Get them at home, should be a cakewalk, though they did lose last year, so I'm not sure. Tough game? shouldn't be. After a likely Auburn loss? Trap game
Florida - garbage team unless they somehow right the ship. Get them at home as well.
S. Alabama - 6-6 team last year in the Sun Belt. Shouldn't be a tough game, probabaly harder than Citadel though
Clemson
So really, their hard games are UGA, Auburn, and us with a trap game for Tenn, but it's at home. I don't really see how it's any harder than UGA, FSU with a trap of UNC and/or BC.

Pretty much how I see it except @ Florida is a toss-up at best for us in my book...every year. We should beat Tennessee.
UGA= toss-up for both CU & USC but harder game for CU away and with a new QB starting
UF & LVILLE both probable wins but could go either way
UT & UNC both likely wins
AU & FSU likely losses
Gonna be a lot of tense folks in SC the last week in November.

Are we talking about the sorryazz coots that cost us SOS for years that kept our ranking low just having to play them? And now they talk about someone else' schedule? Wow - how soon they forget how horrendous they have been for so many years.
