Clemson is no joke these days. I'm excited because I hate Clemson, but I think most would see their program as in a better spot then UGA, and rightfully so...great recruiting, great coach, won a natty a few years ago. Us beating them would help us imo.

Clemson is no pushover and I hope we are ready to play when this does come around.

My only hesitation about making Clemson a regular fixture on the schedule is that in those years, there would be no Notre Dame, CFA Kickoff, UCLA/AZ St/OK St/etc.

I wish they'd schedule another P5 school EVERY year and keep the cupcakes limited to in state schools.

Of course, I'd like a 9 game SEC schedule, too, so clearly no one's listening to me.

They weren't a joke in '13 and '14 either, and we handled those games fine. Plus, we're better now as well. I imagine their fans would say the exact same thing about us.

I'm not necessarily sure I'd agree with that.

we have better recruiting and a far more fertile recruiting ground, our coach looks pretty great himself (keep in mind it took dabo 8 years to have a season where he won as many games kirby did in year 2). The title is obviously waht puts dabo in high esteem but that's not really gonna matter much 3 or 4 years from now as it relates to the topic.

they are definitely no pushover but looking at our trajectory I fully expect us to be the better program when 2021ish rolls around.

All due respect but when your name is Clem’s son the jokes write themselves....you’ll always be a joke no matter what.

The only way Clemson is in a better spot than us right now is the fact that they are in the ACC. Their path to a natty is much easier. We are 2 plays away from having 2 nattys in 5 years with 2 different coaches,,,,,,,and only thwarted both times by arguably the best college football dynasty of all time. We played 3 legitimate play off teams this season.... 2 of them in our conference and one of those twice......and the eventual national champion about as close as can be done. The only way to know will be looking at both programs 10 years from now.....and we are going to have to play Alabama, LSU or Auburn EVERY YEAR to get into the playoff......Clemson will have Va Tech or Ga Tech or FSU or a Mark Richt lead Miami.....their path is infinitely easier.

Seriously....would you prefer facing Gus Mahlzaan or Saban anytime during the season or Mark Richt at the beginning or the end of a season? We know what Mark Richt teams do in big games.....I’ll take Miami every time.....
