re: Florida State vs. Clemson, who do we root for?

This is a rarity ... but this is one where we really need Clemson to win.

Couple of reasons.

Why do you think this? Not saying you're wrong, I just don't see what you see.

Is it the hopes that clemson wins out and is really highly ranked when we play them, so a W against them could push us higher in the late season polls?


My thought process on this is clemson's win/loss is irrelevant in this game. There are too many variables still left to play out this season. I don't think clemson is going to beat Boston College and even ga tech, unc or nc state can give them a run for their money this season.

If SC is going to make the playoffs, we're going to have to win the SECCG, there isn't a scenario where we could be a 2 loss team and not play in the SECCG or a 2 loss team (1 of those being the SECCG) and SC still making the playoffs. If we want in, we gotta win.
