It's not who you play, it's who you beat. Update this


Jan 22, 2020, 6:54 PM

through this past season and I'm sure Clemson is still at the top. Nobody defeated a #1 ranked team in 2019 and only one team defeated a #2 ranked team during the season. That win belongs to Clemson over #2 Ohio State. All these people need to stop worrying about how up or down our conference brethren are. If they don't like their situation, they should try to change conferences and leave the SEC. Our non-conference includes an SEC team and Notre Dame, one group of five and one FCS. Probably much better than the non-conference schedules of most teams. Our crossover is Virginia this year. Yes, Virginia defeated South Carolina 28-0 and was not an easy out for Florida.

Trivia Question: What was the highest ranked team in all of college football to get beat in 2019 and who beat them?
Answer: #2 ranked Ohio State got beat by Clemson making the buckeyes the highest ranked team to be toppled in 2019.

You’re grasping at straws here. Clemson played 2 ranked teams in the regular season and one of them was #23. The other one was A&M. Try playing 7 top 10 teams. Hell, try playing ANY top 10 teams in the regular season. Be grateful for your schedule, and also for Ohio State beating themselves.

LOL.
So cute.

Loved seeing the bucknuts final ranking below us, again, as it should be.

Grasping at straws? The numbers are right there. How about

when we won our title in 2016 and beat Ohio State 31-0, while our division runner-up beat Michigan in the Orange Bowl. Or how about when Ohio State won its title in 2014 with a loss to Virginia Tech in Columbus. How was that ACC match-up.

You do know that Ohio State has

lost 5 of its last 6 games vs the ACC and is 10-9 all-time. Including a lost to Virginia Tech in Columbus during your 2014 title year. Is that grasping at straws? Or is that Nolan Turner grasping the pick in the middle of the endzone in Glendale? LOL
