Love how at #4, Boyd has "weak ACC schedule" as a con

But at #1, Miller doesn't have any con referencing how atrocious the BIG is...
Smh

Seems like more of a direct dig at the ACC

It states Scar's schedule is brutal, but Clemson’s is week.

I would switch schedules with the ##### if for no other reason than having the last regular season game at home.

How can it be a con that our schedule is week, and also
Aug 21, 2013, 12:54 PM

a con that Scar's schedule is "brutal"?
If that's the case, are they saying everyone's schedule is a con?
And why is theirs brutal?
We play: #5 UGA, #6 Scar, and #11 FSU
They play: #5 UGA, #8 Clemson, #10 Florida
How the #### is that any different?

Sounds like a pretty fair assessment to me.

Come on the ACC is atrocious right now. Miami, UNc, etc may turn into something but this is preseason.
The rankings speak for themselves.
Big 10
Ohio St #2
Nebraska # 18
Michigan # 17
Wisconsin # 22
Northwestern # 23
ACC
Clemson #8
Fla St # 11
Looks to me like they have 5 teams ranked with Mich St right outside the top 25. I don't think that equates to atrocious Big 10 as mentioned.
It does however confirm the concern with the writer that Tajh plays in the weak ACC
None of it matters because usually the Heisman comes out of nowhere and is just the hottest player at that time

If you want to compare schedules, see my post above
Aug 21, 2013, 12:57 PM
|
|
Clemson: #5 UGA, #6 Scar, #11 FSU
SCar : #5 UGA, #8 Clem, #10 UF
And that's it. Those are all the ranked teams on the two schedules. So don't come on here giving us #### about our schedule when your 'brutal' SEC schedule looks more like a 'weak' ACC schedule at this point.
It's about who you play, not who's in your conference.

How is he 4th?
Aug 21, 2013, 10:57 AM

There are 5 players with better stated odds than Taj, and 2 with the same 14:1 odds. My math says he's in a 3-way tie for 6th. Just an odd list... or at least an odd numbering system.

I think what the nation sees is that Usc also plays UNC, Vandy, Miss st, Tenn, Missouri, and arky
My best guess is they all see to agree those are tougher than SC state, Duke, Maryland, Wake, BC etc
who knows until the end of the season but that is all anyone has to go off of. Face it the SEC will be thought of as tougher until the bottom of the acc picks it up to help Clemson, FSUb etc
