Someone backed out like that and we got TCU to come to DV. Maybe there's someone like that we could pick up.

Right after the UGA game & just before the conference season
Dec 12, 2013, 12:17 AM
|

kicks off, we could really use an FCS opponent. I wouldn't mind seeing the Charlotte 49ers come here.
We definitely don't need another difficult opponent on the schedule. While these tough OOC games may be fun to watch, they're not the ticket to success. The only thing that matters is getting to 11-1 or 12-0. We already have FSU, SC, UGA, and Louisville on the schedule....that is more than enough to get us into a 4-team playoff with 1-loss.

Auburn, LSU, A&M, etc....You lose arguably the best defensive player to ever play there and one of the best QBs to come through. The "golden era" is coming to an end...

and you lose the best qb to ever play at clem5on, the best wr to ever play at clem5on, the best defensive player on your roster, your best (and only decent) o-lineman, and possibly all of your lbs.
You say the "golden era is coming to an end".

Did you even read the post before taking the cheap shot?

Four teams Clemson faces next season: UGA, FSU, Louisville, SCar.
Before you start the verbal diarrhea about "Clemson's weak schedule", perhaps you should take a look at SCar's conference schedule in 2013. That should have been an absolute cakewalk to the SECCG if not the National Championship. I have never in my life seen such an easy SEC lineup.

that someone else now owns my lower deck season tickets in UH. You're welcome. We just didn't feel like we were getting our $$ worth anymore. We watched more competitive/better games when we attended the Orange/White games. I'm sorry guys, but our big mouths that attended every home game for many years just decided that we'd rather attend only the better games and/or watch the rest on TV, etc.

Re: 2014 schedule just opened up - Coastal Carolina backed out

I vote App State (not that it matters). First year in the Sun Belt, shouldn't be a tough game, and not a typical opponent, but one that is local.

Ok State or Texas

I wish they would get the Ok State series back. I think it was supposed to start next year and they backed out. I need them to get a game out here in Texas. What about Texas at Cowboys stadium???

555 - I disagree. We don't even know selection criteria
Dec 12, 2013, 6:04 AM
|
|
The playoff committee is meeting in NY and news coming out indicates the selection criteria for the 4 teams is still very much unknown. There is a chance they may even take late injuries to star players into consideration as to whether a team should be in playoffs. Also SOS may be weighted MUCH heavier.
I don't think it can hurt to add another strong opponent to the schedule. If it's a win then it's a stronger resume. If it's a loss maybe it makes for a better Clemson team down the road and prevents another loss, plus good teams on the schedule are much more interesting for the fans.

This past season Boise lost to every decent team they faced (Washington, Fresno, BYU, and San Deigo State).
With Chris Petersen leaving for Washington, I have my doubts this is going to be the same Boise team that won 11+ games each year from 2006 to 2012.

Clemson should put the onus right back on Coastal.
Unless and until Coastal locates a suitable replacement opponent, Coastal MUST play the game.

We'll get SC ST to come play us again.
I don't know who we'll play the week before the So Car game, though? Maybe it'll just be an open date the week before So Car?

With the playoffs starting next year an SOS a huge factor a decent team might be willing to drop one of their cupcakes and play us. Trouble is getting them to come to DV, bc they would then lose a home game since the team they drop would have been coming to their field.

them to drop a cupcake, even if they give up a home game, or maybe we'd be willing to give up a home game (our QB will already have been through the most hostile of college football environments the week prior), if they're really chasing a top 4 finish as we'll be.
