Clemson was a nice win for sure but they were leading at halftime and the final score was 27-17. Solid win but hardly "dominating". By contrast A&M went up 38-0 on State, 49-7 on Auburn, 49-0 on SHSU, and 42-0 on Mizzou before coasting to easy wins. The only close game in that stretch was Bama but A&M never trailed in that win either.

I think USC is a very good team and as I said I think they beat A&M in the 1st half of the season. I agree that Clowney and your D would be a challenge but A&M has 2 AA OT's as well that could match up on them. It would be a great game and could go either way but I think A&M is the better team right now.

If it was a late regular season match-up my gut tells me A&M. We were banged up and lost steam after UGA and they came together.

If they played in a bowl game, I like Carolina, though. More time to heal and gameplan works very much in our favor.

Yall got a good coach and DL. After the injuries on offense, i think it would be a win. I cant decide where the USCe defense ranks in top of SEC? I like UF and LSU

Well - who knows. Perhaps it will be Carolina and A&M in Atlanta next year for the conference championship and this question will be answered. I doubt it though. It'll either LSU or Bama versus Carolina or Florida imho. We'll see.

Sucks we're not playing A&M next season to find out. There is a good chance Clowney will leave after next year so we'll probably never get the JFF vs Clowney matchup.

Meet us in Atlanta next December and let's have at it

Eh, Sagarin has us at -8 if we played at Kyle, -2 if we played at your place. I figure we'd split since our kicker sucks, but I wouldn't be surprised with two A&M wins.

LMAO at the A&M fans who think ... nevermind. But no, you definitely would not win at the Billy Brice imho.

No problem, this will be settled in a couple of years.

Florida's O has been trash all year.


We played both teams and in the end aTm would win the game and it doesn't matter where they played at. Here's why:

1) aTm starts stupid fast. They have all year against every legit team they faced.

2) aTm's offense torches 4-3 defenses. LSU had to switch to 3 down linemen to contain Manziel. I don't think SCar can do that and go to 5-6 DBs the way LSU did. FLorida could becasue htey play 3-4 and they had the best secondary in teh country probably.

3) Once aTm got up, now SCar is forced to change their offensive style, which isn't a strong suit for them. They are not designed to play come from behind football.

Final score would be around aTm 31, SCar 17
