Stupid Debate/Topic

How can anyone say, Clemson doesn't have anything to play for? We're three games into the season, We lost to UGAy, FSU. Not UMASS and Furman. Anything can happen... Honestly, its a silly argument. Let the season play out, then debate it

Potentially knocking coots out of a playoff
Sep 24, 2014, 3:11 PM
|

Scenario (which is doubtful they would win their games until then), and topping off a 9 win streak with another Orange Bowl victory?
Sounds like plenty to play for to me.

these are the same idiots who coined the term " Clemsoning" and they don't even remember what it means. sat night was not " clemsoning" the term was created because in years past we would win a big game ( FSU) then drop one to a lesser talented team (wake, Maryland,BC etc.) someone should call them out on this.
I say we have plenty to play for , I also say we were handed the ACC championship on a silver platter and we refused to take it. whatever happens lets get Watson some experience and beat SC

So win out.....Really nothing to lose the rest of the season. Of course if Florida St finds a way to lose two (not saying they will but they were struggling before Winston was suspended for the game against us) and the top SEC school is a two loss team, then we are back in the thick of it.

Amen! The way teams are playing, there's a strong possibility that many top tier teams could end up with two losses this year. Then What? Any given Saturday. Win out Tigers and lets see what happen within the FBS game of football. The weirdest things happens every year. By then most teams will not won't to play this defense in the first round. The Offense will polished and should be hitting on all cylinders by playoff picking time.

Again...they really had no reason to have such a discussion on TV. It serves little purpose except to belittle a team. By them saying " Clemson is irrelevant the rest of the season." It's just another example of eSECpn showing their true colors! IMO.

Win out + win bowl = 11 wins
Sep 24, 2014, 4:02 PM
|

11 wins for 3 seasons in a row is not a bad accomplishment. 33-6 over 3 years is pretty solid. Starting Watson and the other youngunns is a good thing and a great building block for this team. The future is bright fellow Tiger fans!

Our goal right now is to beat North Carolina. Winning the ACC would be nice, but not a major accomplishment according to the ESPN talking heads. Our goal should be just go out every game and give it 110% and make Coach Howard proud.

I'm still crushed by that loss on Saturday. The only reason I'm pumped about the rest of our season is because our defense is awesome and I'm so excited about Deshaun Watson. We can win out with him and how fitting would it be for him to beat South Carolina as a true freshman? Also excited about watching Makensie Island this year. We'll bounce back and just let ESPN hate the rest of the year. They better not jump on that bandwagon when we're playing for a national title in 2016.

Here's what I think.....
Sep 24, 2014, 4:55 PM
|
|
-Within the next couple of weeks....most teams in college football will be in the same boat (unable (allegedly) to win their division, out of the playoff). I don't understand why we get singled out for such a discussion.
- The other thing is that a top 10 finish and beating South Carolina are pretty worthy goals. This garbage about teams not having anything to play for because of the playoff is ridiculous. If anything, you could make an argument that Clemson could win out, climb the ladder and be closer to the playoff than some of these other teams who have feasted on cupcakes early and will falter late.
- Will they do a segment on South Carolina not having anything to play for when they lose their second game? Or any other SEC team for that matter?
- I still think FSU loses one game. Maybe not two. But what if they did?
- Of all the games left on our schedule, here's what I think we have:
- Major cupcakes in Georgia State and Wake Forest. - Games that we should win handily in N.C. State and Syracuse. - Games against semi-decent teams that will give us trouble if we are not focused in UNC and Georgia Tech. - Games against tough teams that are not an easy out, but we will be expected to win and therefore not get much credit for doing so in BC and Louisville. - One game against a really strong team that will likely be ranked in South Carolina.
Obviously, the best case scenario is to win out and we will be in a really good spot. Who knows? If Jameis does something else, then FSU is certainly capable of dropping a couple of games without him. Even with him, have they played a real road game yet? There just seems to be too much season left to jump to such conclusions.
Meanwhile, if we win....there's plenty of time to quietly rise in the rankings while others fall. And if SCAR stays ranked, then we can make a statement at that time.

You nailed it. I agree. Let's hope that by the SCAR game, they are not only 9-2, but have also learned to minimize the costly mistakes.

Plenty of good games upcoming
Sep 24, 2014, 5:24 PM

UNC has lost some luster because of the way they've started the season and them getting killed by ECU last week. But they're not a bad team, and they'll probably win a bunch of games this year.
We still play GT in Atlanta, and that's been a tough place to win for Clemson.
The Louisville game will be a pretty big deal, especially if Louisville can play its way back into the top 25. That will also be our first time playing them since I don't know when, so there's also the novelty factor.
It's like none of y'all care about our conference games except against FSU.
Of course, there's also South Carolina at the end of the year.
Win all of those games, and we're finishing very highly ranked and we're playing a pretty good team in a bowl game. Yeah, we probably can't win championships this year, but that's the case for almost every team.

The way that "almost every team" won't play for championships/would lose to FSU/steps on their #### excuse gets thrown around it may as well be our new motto.
Clemson - Pretty much just like anywhere else!

We will continue to see this type of reporting as each team misses their chance at the final 4. If college football isn't careful people will start to think that anything less than the big 4 is worthless. Which is Not the case. If fans follow suit the bowls and advertisers $$$$$ will change that format quickly. The next to drop out if their chance will be the next subject fir the talking idiots
