We will see the real game come december. Miami vs. FSU will be the ACC championship & Clemson will get BCS bid.

Clemson is the better team, they just have to play like it. No reason this team should lose to those dirt peckers. All In.

The best team does not always win.

Especially in a rivalry game.
Clemson NEEDS to win that game. Do what it takes, Dabo. Out-scheme the lamecocks. Out-physical them. Whatever it takes. PLEASE!!!

Give the Devil his due. I hate Carolina. Always have. But they seem to be better than Clemson in almost every position. RB, Hot Rod is good, but that Mike Davis is incredible. OL. neither has anything to brag about hear. WRs. Give edge to Clemson mostley cause of Sammy. TE's, probably SC. QB. Tajh is more high profile, but Conner Shaw just flat wins games. I'll give a slight edge to Clemson on this. Special Teams...Clemson
DL even with improvments, they still have CLowney and a solid DL. DBs SC. LBs probably them as well.
So I'm not sure but hopefuly we will have a good night....we are due.

better line backers. Our WRs are much better than theirs as well.

I agree with a lot of what you said, but I do have a few objections.
Defense - Our linebackers are not only better than theirs, they are significantly better. SC's linebackers have been their biggest weakness all year. I'd say in the secondary it's a wash. We've had better CB play, but they've had better safety play. The defensive lines are probably a whole lot closer than you are giving them credit for.
Offense - At QB, while Shaw has definitely been impressive, the comparison between he and Boyd comes down to which Tajh we see. If it's today's TB then there's no comparison, but if it's this year's FSU TB then it would be a different story. They have a significant advantage at RB and a slight advantage at TE and OL. Our receiving corps is better not only because of Sammy, but even without him, I think we are at least as good as they are.
Special Teams is a clear advantage for us.

do you think having the citadel the week before helps us this year? USC has had this schedule for years, and it seems to have paid off for them.

Yr as we do. if we have success stopping their run game then hopefully it will stick with us when we play the coots. If they get us in 2nd and 3rd and shorts all night we will not be able to get off the field.
