re: Auburn vs Clemson over the decades

Clemson is 60-40 over SC all time. you confused.

you obviously didn't see the game last year. didn[t see much dominance lol

Tenn beat SC last two years but nobody would say Tenn was the better program. any average team can upset a better program from time to time.

good night

Record is 3-2 Auburn over Clemson last 3 decades with 2 of auburn's wins went overtime and the other was 4 point win. Auburn may have been average or bad in 1980s for all I know, and Clemson never played AUburn in that decade and that was best decade for Clemson. who knows, we could have won 5 or more against auburn that decade

if you're going to try and compare football programs, at least do some light researching so you know at least a little about what you're talking about.

Auburn was definitely down in the 80s...yall would've stomped us. That Bo guy sucked too.

Nobody wants to counter because your shtick is so laughable but I'll humor you.

So you want to disregard two decades because Clemson was smaller (all schools were smaller back then FYI) but you still want to count every other decade in that timeframe when only 7 games have been played after the 60's.

The 80's were your best decade? Cool, Auburn was better. Clemson cheated to win the national championship in 1981. Auburn should have won the national championship in 1983. We had a heisman winner and one of the best athletes ever in Bo Jackson. Auburn ended the 80's with 3 straight SEC championships.

Auburn has 2 AP national championships, so you're wrong about that. As already stated Clemson was put on probation for paying the best players the year they won the NC and it would be vacated by modern standards.

they didn't cheat because the recuiting violation was for players who did not play on title team and never played for Clemson. it was minor violation anyway, no player is going to go to a school b/c of some small dollar gifts. it wasn't coach but a booster that offered the gifts\

clmeson has had more all americans than AUburn based on a column I read. I will have to dig it up again if you dispute this

auburn was basically always twice the size of Clemson. I believe it started out as liberal arts school for women then transition to land grant university, it had a head start on Clemson. you can google the historic enrollment at both colleges to confirm this.

most years, auburn doesn't play tougher schedule, they are about the same.

typicall there are 2-3 sec teams overranked in a season. Both SC and ole miss were overanked last year. I believe SC started season in top 5 even though they lost a ton of players including QB from previous year.

some people act like Georgia, lsu, bama, auburn are really good every year but some years they are just average, but playing in Sec provides cover for this. typically in a SEC season, there are two really good teams, 3 above average teams, 4 or 5 average teams and then some really bad teams. that is typical of every conference.

how embarrassing, you should deny that.
It might be even more embarrassing that you're not even sure about that and you claim to be a fan of the school.

Since you won't do your research even though it takes about 2 seconds:

Auburn:
2 Claimed National Titles
6 Unclaimed National Titles
12 Conference Titles
742-421-47 (.633)
3 Heismans
68 All-Americans
22 bowl wins
39 bowl appearances

Clemson:
1 Claimed National Titles
20 Conference Titles
689-455-45 (.598)
0 Heismans
23 All-Americans
19 Bowl Wins
37 Bowl Appearances

We beat you in every category but Conf titles...and you're in a different conference so...

regardless Clemson was ranked most fun university

Ok now I know you're trolling. You come in comparing football programs and then bring this shite in here?

Who the frick even ranks the "most fun universities"?

I would literally volunteer to be taken hostage by ISIS before I begged any Clemson or ACC board to respect Auburn.

I hope not literally. ISIS literally beheads people.

I don't disrespect auburn. this thread was basically a think piece in response to a comment I saw earlier on here by an Auburn fan in reference to Clemson. all I did is look at the record by decade and in modern era when Clemson became a real university.

the ACC probation was pushed by UNC who basically ran the conference for decades. UNC now opposes a conference imposed probation for their academic scandal which to me is worse violation.

I never understood the gifts thing because you could argue the colleges with a lot of money have an unfair advantage in recruiting because they have nicer facilities that attract good players. it basically the same thing, a bribe.

i'm not saying Clemson shouldn't have been punished but I do believe that violation was not as bad as ones handed down on auburn and auburn had more of them. I believe also had seasons vacated. I know Alabama had several seasons vacated.

regardless, I believe that I have proven Clemson is as good as Auburn in modern era and competed in the 3 losses, decided by 3 or 4 points. when auburn fans dump on Clemson and Dabo, they paint a picture that auburn is superior program to Clemson but Clemson has proven they can play with SEC teams.
