Teams can't control how good or bad an opponent is when the schedule is made. Going into the season and when the game was scheduled, Clemson was a quality opponent.

You can use your rankings, but I would rather play Clemson in Atlanta on primetime than play West Virginia at home on ESPN or ESPN2.


Of course you would rather play Clemson in Atlanta on primetime. They're a weaker opponent, an easier win, and on national television. It's a win-win situation.

Weaker opponent? Easier win? Are you really going to take that route instead of giving Alabama some credit for scheduling a quality OOC game?


You're setting yourself up to be in a grand position. If LSU beats Carolina, it'll be a great win because NC will be a really tough team. If they lose, the excuse for handing the SEC their first loss in that game will be "we played a tougher opponent."
