re: Why would any SEC fans want Clemson to win?

Yeah ya'll need to be more focused on Bama and to a lesser degree State raiding LA

Geography helps them a great deal in this regard but Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and even Alabama are recruiting grounds that Clemson could open up a bit more with a win. They'd be just another pain in the arse in a very long line of pains in the arse (including one another) when it comes to recruiting but the SEC schools in those states do have a vested interest in protecting those grounds from outsiders as much as they can.

It doesn't much matter to me since we've always been committed to recruiting nationally but at the same time I'd rather have an easier road to get recruits. Even though I'm not terribly heartbroken over it, I'd rather have Higgins than not and a year ago Clemson would've had no chance with him. That's something to watch because it's another competitor that's joined the fold that wouldn't have been around without Watson making a splash.
