The one good thing about strength of schedule factors is


Nov 7, 2019, 8:57 AM

All of the contenders for the CFP will have to start scheduling better out of conference games. We should start the trend by dropping one of our two cupcake games every year and play a team from the Big 10 or Pac 10 that is at least respectable.

Is it State law that we have to play in-state small schools?


Nov 7, 2019, 9:06 AM

Or, merely a request by our wonderful state leaders?

Strongly encouraged...

is probably a better description, especially if you want favorable considerations at appropriations time.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.


We don't have the option of dropping our biggest cupcake...

State law mandates that we play uof5c every year.

That's tough to do because Big 10 & Pac 10 schools would

require a "home and home" arrangement...and we always shoot for 7 home games a year.

Clemson has tried for years to schedule and home and home...

with Penn State and Michigan. However, both schools insisted on a two-for-one type arrangement and that was something Clemson simply wasn't willing to do.

Don’t buy into the narrative! The. ACC is a great conference year in and year out..
I believe a check of the records will probe that.
Clemson already schedules two SEC teams a year besides their conference games!!!
Better solution is have a real play off and the conference winners and maybe some at large ( decided by records and tie breakers) win it on the field not in a committed meeting beauty contest.

Keep the in-state FCS game. It has tangible economic value. However, it must be played early in September, not like this past weekend. I have to believe playing that game right as the committee started their debate hurt us worse than having an open date (from a soft schedule perception). The Gof5 game should be replaced with a 9th conference game. It’s a P5 game but probably no tougher than playing a quality Gof5 team.

We are not being knocked for our OOC schedule.

We are being knocked for our in-conference schedule.

We already beat an OOC team who has only lost games to top 12 teams and nobody cares because they have decided the ACC is a free pass this season.

Our scheduling practices are just fine.

I know some fans get bored watching us beat Wofford and Charlotte so easily but those are vital games to the development and recovery of the team during the season.
