The Bleacher Report is jealous of Robert Nkemdiche....please

that's the silliest thing I've seen regarding this situation. They have no dog in this fight, no reason to pick a side.
The SEC is clearly the top conference in America, they have the best facilities, coaches, and players. The top player in the country ducking SEC by picking an inferior conference is naturally going get a second and third look. Is he scared of completion,injury or playing the SEC schedule?
I don't think any of that figured into his decision, I personally think, he got up to Clemson and fell in love with the environment and the people. Throw in the fact that a few of his teammates a have committed and you have a commitment. Great job , Dabo and crew.

The Bleacher Report is written by regular people...

I could go in and write an article right now. There's nothing journalistic about it.
Plus, he's an SEC fan: http://bleacherreport.com/users/27342-wes-odonnell
'Nuff said.

Safe ? Non destructive ?

Unless you're playing LSU,Bama or Arkansas , there's no such thing as a destructive SEC schedule. Only in the SEC homers minds is it destructive.You take the other 9 SEC teams and put them in any one of the other conferences and they'll never win the conference championship. They live their itty bitty lives thinking some how they are better than they are because of the top of the conference

Whether we like it or not, Carolina would have probably gone undefeated in ACC play last year and Georgia likely would have won the conference too.

"In short, the ACC is a place where Nkemdiche could become an absolute superstar, but he won't have to compete the same way he would if he were to play at, say, Ole Miss or LSU." Ole Miss??? Is this guy drunk?

People don't realize we play half the teams they list about being SEC "powers". Auburn, UGA, Ole Miss on the Schedule for upcoming and past years. USC every year. Then FSU, VT, GT on top of that. How is that not as just about as difficult as any schedule in the SEC East?

If Clemson were in the SEC, it would be favored to play in the championship game every year. Clemson owns the ACC, and it would own the SEC too. Clemson is Clemson. With Dabo at the helm, more championships are sure to come. Dabo should go ahead and order the national championship game patch and put it on the team jersey now. Dabo will become the most successful (wins and championships) coach in Clemson history.

worth a #### while at school, then they're probably right. He didn't have to worry about finding a school that could cater to his "learning disability."

Sounds like a coot, lets compare SEC's best teams to ACC's
Jun 15, 2012, 2:11 PM

worst teams. The SEC definitely has better teams at the top, but after that they are fairly even...except for money and administration.

The folks who love the SEC and Big XII will only discuss Wake, Duke (when is the last time we played them?) and Virginia when talking about the ACC. We're only in a 4-team conference, right?

Didn't read the article as negative.

Seems to me the writer was saying that since Clemson has a history of putting DE's into the NFL it was safer for RN to come to Clemson and get to the NFL then from another school. In other words, Clemson has proven it can develop a defensiver player for the NFL and coming to Clemson has made RN's goal a safer bet for him. Maybe I just have orange colored glasses on. If so, I'll just keep them on.
Go Tigers!

Guessing an SEC school.
Based on his lack of intelligence, most likely MSU or USuC. But it could be any SEC "school" except Vandy.
