SEC overrated per Saturday’s Down South


Dec 3, 2020, 11:32 AM

I recently used this article in an argument with A gamecock and a Georgia dawg. It’s a really really good article! I was searching for it on Google a little while ago and saw where David Hood posted it 2 years ago, but it is still a great read, especially since it takes a shot at Coot-U. It also shines a great light on Clemson and is the type of article tailor made for recruiting!

FYI This is also a perfect rebuttal...

To those pushing the “Clemson plays a weak schedule” narrative!

How does it push back against Clemson's schedule? It spells out what we all already knew...Clemson is an elite program and beats the best teams. That doesn't say anything the strenght of their schedule.

Head to head, the ACC kicks the SEC's A$$ this year, Bama, great as usual, Gators pretty good against inferior SEC competition, UGA - overrated as usual, equivalent to Wake Forest or VA Tech, A&M, clearly overrated and then 10 Sunbelt like teams.

By the way, Sankey's a tool.

Clearly math isn’t your strong suit.

Clemson has beaten as many teams that finished in the top 25 During the playoff era as Georgia has played! We have played more teams that finished in the top 25 than Georgia during the playoff era. Ergo, Clemson has played a harder scheduled than Georgia during the playoffs era.

I appreciated that they started out with a narrative and realized that narrative was incorrect and then did further research to explore what they were seeing in the numbers. I especially appreciate that they admitted their narrative was wrong.

Such objectivity today in science and journalism is very rare when those are the two occupations that are supposed to be built on skepticism & objectivity. It used to be scientists and journalists were skeptics and started out trying to prove their assumptions wrong. Today they start out with a false narrative they want to push and cherry pick the data to support that false narrative because they no longer care about truth. They are now activists!
