What's a more exciting schedule for Clemson, ACC or BIG 10?
Aug 28, 2022, 5:28 PM
|

For fun I am listing the most exciting 5 games for Clemson to play in the ACC and BIG10 to compare.
Which schedule would you prefer?
FSU
NC STATE
MIAMI
PITT
UNC
Versus this schedule:
OHIO STATE
MICHIGAN
MICHIGAN STATE
PENN ST
WISCONSIN
If you're honest, it's not close is it?

What's a better game than Clemson / Ohio State?
Is it just an ease of attendance thing?

Clemson vs Ohio State is a good game for the post season.

A Michigan and/or Ohio State game would make a fine OOC game.

Except if we went to the Big10 it wouldn't look like that
Aug 28, 2022, 5:50 PM

If the B1G comes after us it won't be just for the purpose of getting Clemson to play a bunch of midwestern teams. It will be to put a serious dent in the SEC's primary television market. I'm thinking their ultimate goal would be to create an eastern division that might consist of:
Rutgers
Penn State
Maryland
UVa
UNC
Clemson
FSU
Miami
I'm just speculating but that scenario is the only thing that makes enough sense for them to actually go for it.
It is also motivation for the SEC to try to pick off the southern teams in that group to keep the move from happening.

That is a great idea for the BIG to make happen for the footprint.

A move to the SEC is a no-brainer

That's why I compared schedules to the Big 10.
I have a lot of hate of the ACC from the Danny days. Old timer here.

I could care less about the ACC as well (other than Clemson, of course, and I can tolerate Wake). My fear is a drop off in recruiting if the Tigers go to the B1G. IMO, the majority of the best skill players come from the South and I don't believe a lot of the families would like the B1G travel.

Neither schedule excites me. Out of those two options, I would prefer to watch the ACC schedule. Unfortunately though, the rest of the ACC is weak in football.

add in Cinci, Texas Tech, Ok St, West Virginia - that brings the ACC to 18 teams. Then add Arizona St and either Baylor or TCU. and you have a good TV market conference with football schools.

That pays each team ~ $22M per year which is losing ground

No new schools will join the ACC because of the grant of rights deal. If the ACC made an exception for a new school, I’m sure we would use it as an excuse to leave the conference. The ACC is stuck with the teams we have now.

I think its just as important to look at the other end.....

Look at the bottom of the conference.
Duke
Ga tech
Virginia
Syracuse
BC
Versus
Illinois
Northwestern
Purdue
Indiana
Rutgers
It's not always about the marquee games. The awful games with teams we have no history with is the problem.
Example: when Syracuse, Pitt and BC joined the ACC
Nobody cares. College football has always benefited from geographical rivalries

Purdue has been in the Top 10 recently. They are no slouch along with Iowa. I’d love to make a trip to Iowa. Looks like a great environment. More fun than a trip to Dook.
