No. 3 Georgia's.
And that Clemson's ACC record is as good as No. 4 Miami's.
Some (many) of you have started agreeing with the pundits at ESPN and the AP that Clemson is not as good as these teams. It is my privilege to help you fight through your fear of being wrong.
Go Tigers. On to Pitt.

I agree that Miami’s excellent record obscures their ‘OK but hardly great’ team quality.
Wake won’t beat them. I’d like to see Syracuse beat them up there in the upstate, but am sure not going to bet on it.

The way you lose matters. Not only did we get blown out by UGA. The Ville whipped us too. Those 2 losses are not good. And based on what I have seen, I don’t think we are one of the 12 best right now. Have a few games to improve though and hopefully this change on D with Sammy is the answer there.

You can present facts and skew them worth bias and bs which is exactly what you did. By your logic Navy should be top 10. I have a really nice car that’s only been in two accidents. Both were blowouts (fire and flood) but I swear it’s a top 10 car. It comes with oceanfront property in Az.

UGA murdered us. They play solid teams on the regular. Miami has a pretty weak schedule too, but they beat a team on the road that killed us at home. I don't see a justification for equating us.

Just stop. We're not 19, 23rd. And no, it's not fear, it's reality. We're not as good as either of those teams. We've beaten trash teams.
Va tech fans (some) were upset drones got the start. Obviously not healthy. But the other qb was doing good. And quit acting like Pitt is some big bad team. We're good, a bottom sec team. We're ranked in the 20s which is spot on. No where near top 12.

Indiana is undefeated at 10-0, BYU is 9-0, and Penn State is 8-1 with their only loss to #2 Ohio State by one score.
What do they have to do with us, sitting at 7-2 with a blowout loss to Georgia and a double digit loss to Louisville?

Which I would think would give rise to questions about their fitness to be there, given the general inferiority of their opponents. Ohio State is a legit opponent. Purdue, Wisconsin, Michigan, Washington, Minnesota, Illinois, Baylor, Texas Tech, Okie State, TCU ... not so much.
But, if you'd rather hammer the home team as being an inferior product wrapped within an inferior conference as a way of advancing the narrative that Dabo Swinney is overpaid and underperforming, that's your prerogative.

Miami does not have the defense to be considered playoff worthy. Refs have aided in a couple of wins. Just over hyped. ACC needs a good Miami and FSU team but the fact is they are not. VT could have or should have beat them at Miami.

Dude is trolling yall.
Don’t buy into that. He can front all he wants or point out his so called “facts”.
The facts may be correct but there is another fact he’s forgetting or not acknowledging.. all schedules aren’t created equal. All wins are not equal. All losses are not equal.
If we had Georgia’s schedule we have at least 4 losses. Argue it all you want but deep down he knows the truth.
He’s one of those that think it makes him a better fan to sunshine pump. Let him think it bc it really doesn’t matter.

Not quite equivalent.
Georgia's #11, but they have blowout wins over us and Texas. Their opponents have an overall record of 49-36 and they've played 4 ranked teams so far. 4 of their 7 wins came against winning teams. Miami is 9-1, not 7-2. Their opponents have an overall record of 39-46, so only slightly better than us. They also have no ranked wins, but they have beaten 3 teams with winning records. Our opponents have an overall record of 37-49. We've played one ranked team, and we lost by 31 points to them. Only 1 of our wins came against a team with a winning record: 5-4 UVA.
So Georgia has the same record as us, but has played significantly better teams and has a head to head blowout win over us. Miami has a slightly better strength of schedule, but has a better record than us, with a win over a team that blew us out. It doesn't take rocket science to figure out how these are different.

If our schedule included Georgia, Bama, Texas, Ole Miss, and Tennessee our final record would probably be pretty rough. I'm not too confident we would beat any of those teams this year.

Lol not all schedules are created equally. Clemson would have 2x as many loses as Georgia with that schedule. We can’t beat a ranked team for crying out loud.

If I was going to compare our team to someone in the SEC I think Missou might be that team. Or Kentucky.

Clemson beat who? Lost at home to a average team and got smoked by GA.

There's some pretty good evidence that Georgia is better than Clemson

I trust you can find it as it's definitely readily available all over the internet... and burned into my brain.

No. 3 Georgia's.
Some (many) of you have started agreeing with the pundits at ESPN and the AP that Clemson is not as good as these teams
The head-to-head with UGA means nothing?

No more, no less. Georgia has 2 Ls now. Same as Clemson.

Yes. True. BUT, they have wins against ranked teams with winning records. We do not. We have a loss to a (then) unranked team and a blowout to a team with a pulse. Very different.
