I like that game as a fan, but they gain a lot more from it than UGA does, competitively

Playing Clemson is a lot like us playing Ga So only slightly more competitive. When we inevitably win no one is shocked because, after all, it’s Auburn with a lake...we own them. In the rare event that we lose to them it’s a MAJOR boost to their programs personae.....the effects last forever in Clemson lore.

The same thing is true of South Carolina. The best thing to ever happen to that program is being in the SEC in a period when we were mediocre at best. We own USCe also...but let them win 2 in a row against us and all of a sudden they are better than Alabama.....no matter how many times they lose to us after that.

I’m of the opinion that you can’t beat Clem’s Son often enough or bad enough but if we are going to add power 5 teams to the schedule I think we should do so outside the South.....at least we get a bump in exposure that way. When we beat Clemson everyone in the South knew it was coming and it gets about as much national attention as us beating GaSo.
