A lot on here about how we don't play any body . So I thought I would throw some numbers atcha .We cant help that we play in a crappy conference . That's why we schedule 2 Sec teams or 1 and Notre Dame every year.

* In the last 5 years Clemson is 69-4 overall .

* 10-2 vs the sec with both losses coming to Bama in the
playoffs .
Wins over Oklahoma, OSU (twice ), Notre Dame (twice ) .

We have the #1 recruiting class in the country coming in and over 80 freshman and sophmores on scholorship.

I am not saying that they are better than LSU this year. I am saying we have a great program and step up in most big games . This will be the year to get us because of our inexperience on defense and your crazy good offense . We are here to stay and with Bama on the down swing a little bit you might see us again next year in the playoff . Good luck it I hope it's a good game .

This is the thing you dummies don't get. You play a ridiculously easy schedule. It's easier on your team, it's easier on your coaches. It's easier from a physicality standpoint. It's easier from a recovery standpoint. It's easier from a mental standpoint.

Then, you have a play a few tough games in the playoffs.

VS.

SEC teams having to play difficult teams week in and week out. The physicality is harder as is the recovery. Our teams get beat up. By the time we get to the playoffs, we've had to endure a much more difficult road to get there. PERIOD.

So, it is so surprising that Clemson does well when they've had cupcakes all year? Sure, you're good enough to beat SEC teams. But, if you were in our conference, you wouldn't be 69-4. You likely would not have made the playoffs as often either. The SEC schedule wears you down. You shouldn't be rewarded for blowing out high school teams, and bottom dweller SEC teams like SC and AM. What are they, 7th, 8th best teams in the SEC. Boy that's something to brag about.

The point is, by having only to get up and play a few times a year, your success rate is going to be higher. That's a fact. But try going Florida, Auburn, Alabama in a row. Think having to navigate that had something to do with Ole Miss?
