They were talking about Clemson's 2020 Football schedule. They pointed out two things that were true and very telling about Clemson.

First they talked about how the ACC was protecting Clemson. First by scheduling the BC game on a Friday to give Clemson an extra day to prepare for FSU and their bye week is now before Norte Dame. Traditionally, it's before the South Carolina game.

Secondly, they made this statement. Surprisingly, I don't even think they realize they're admitting how bad the ACC is. Paraphrasing here..... Let's talk about the meat of the Clemson schedule. The part where their schedule starts to get very difficult.......... January 1st when they go to the Rose Bowl to play Alabama in the Semifinals.

This is the mindset here. They know they do not play anyone all year. And I have to admit, wanting to play Bama in the playoffs is dumb. If coach Saban wants to play just one more game, it's against Clemson.

Thoughts?

If you need extra time to prep for FSU, you should forfeit any invitation to the playoffs.

Well they've been doing this for years now, minus that one ACC game a year where they almost go down.

It sounds like you were listening to a pro-Gamecock radio station.

The truth is the ACC was bad the last two years, but the few years prior had some decent teams. If FSU or Miami gets their stuff together any time soon its a different story.

Prior to the last two years, Clemson had a run where its strength of schedule was better than UofSC's... but everyone wants to ignore that little fact.

This board is ate up with Clemson.

That craptastic schedule also comes with a ton of pressure.

Lose once and you’re probably out.

LSU and UGA are about to play Clemson in the regular season in the next few years

Go back and look at the Bama teams over the past few years that absolutely destroyed the SEC.

If Boise State joins the American Conference, I would be in favor of moving the AAC up to P5 status and demoting the ACC until they get their shite together. The American would across the board be a tougher conference than the ACC at that point and it’s already close now
