so are missed FGs. if it was automatic then the rules would just give teams 3 points when they get to certain spot on the field. lol

Your very first post in this thread was about Clemson. And so what if Bama fans brag? Bama is in the SEC (this is an SEC board) and Clemson is not.

based on your own assertion i will change my opinion of Clemson's 2016 season and consider it lucky they managed to beat NCState, UofL and that when they did loose so did other teams behind them in the polls. they must be lucky. i didn't believe in it, but you have convinced me. teams get lucky sometimes.

it wasn't bragging. i said objectively it would be a nice win for Clemson if Auburn is truly best team in SEC. i didn't say CLemson would win. i have no idea who will win.

why do you always need to bring up SEC? Talk about teams, not conferences.

teams play games, not conferences.

none of CLemson's wins were lucky like those two Auburn wins against alabama and uga that year.

if CLemson ahd that kind of luck, we would have won a title with Boyd, mabye even Danztler.

Is it just me, or does the entire ACC remind you of a weird incestious trailer park community?

incest typically more associated with SEC states, unfair or not.

You said players not executing routine plays wasn't luck and Clemson didn't win by luck.

But when it applies to Auburn you say a player not executing a routine play is luck and Auburn won by luck. You changed my opinion and now you are going back on it saying when a player doesn't make a routine play that helps your team win it isn't luck. So I guess we agree, it isn't luck. Just football.

you can't grasp irony. it's either luck or football, but every team plays the same game.

in terms of probability, much more likely a bad kicker misses a FG than either of those two plays Auburn had at end of games.

and obviously NCSU's missed kick didn't LOSE the game for them. auburn's two plays won two games for them.

that NCSU win was great though. thanks for reminding me of it. i might would rank that as best win of my lifetime given all the bad things that happened in the game.

that probablilty drops when you consider it wasn't just a single miss but 3 misses.

the probability of returning a field you can actually field is surprisingly high. look it up. you are correct it is unusual for a player to make the mistake the kid from uga/uofL made but he made it and Auburn took advantage just like Clemson this season against NCState. Just like Bama took advantage of a fluke like play in the Ole Miss/Arkie game in 2015, just like OSU took advantage some good fortune against Penn State in 2014, Just like bama took advantage of some poll fortune in 2012, just like bama took advantage of some luck in an unprecedented rematch in 2011...you get the point i assume.

one miss was blocked which no doubt was on the kicker's mind on the next one. lol

regardless, if NCSU wins that game, Clemson would have beat Pitt. so they make playoffs either way. the pitt loss seemed to refocus them.

you act like that block was some sort of amazing block. it was a kicker error. just like the other two misses.

yes but you are saying we got lucky to win the game even though you admit the kicker had errors on 3 kicks. lol

after that game, NCSU basically stopped kicking field goals.

i never said you got lucky. i am using your own criteria about football, which you define as luck, to say that Clemson must have gotten lucky. to me sometimes players make mistake and great teams take advantage of those mistakes. in 2013 i was thankful uga had a cornerback that made a mistake.

ok, i don't think missed FGs are comparable to those two plays by Auburn. lol
