Higher BCS ranking vs ACC Championship
Nov 4, 2012, 11:34 PM
|
|
If we win out and FSU loses an ACC game, we would certainly finish higher than we are now, but I think FSU winning all the rest of their games (which means they beat Florida) does the most for Clemson's BCS ranking. If FSU loses an ACC game or loses to Florida, it hurts Clemson's SOS sufficiently that we don't get as high in the rankings as we could've.
So, for the folks complaining about the BCS rankings, would you trade a shot at the ACCC for a higher BCS ranking?

Assuming we take care of business and FSU loses an ACC game, what's wrong with a top 10 Clemson playing an undefeated #7 or 8 team in a BCS bowl and beating them?
I don't think that sounds like a bad match-up at all. I think that sounds pretty good, and if we win? That would be huge, given next year we could possibly start top 5 and have in roads to the National Championship.

I'd rather FSU lose an ACC game and then beat Florida.

I'm going to say higher BCS ranking, because it makes the conference look better. Don't get me wrong, I'd love an ACC championship, but for instance, who cares about the winner of the MAC?

best case scenario - imo
Nov 5, 2012, 6:32 AM
|
|
we win out - means we beat USuC
FSU loses an ACC game and beats UF
we win our side and go win the ACCCG
go to OB and win.
so much good for Clemson in all of that. period.
