And yet Missouri was able to win their division 2 of their first 3 years in the conference and Texas A&M won 11 games their first year and knocked off Alabama. 



And Clemson beat bama for the natty last year... but Ole Miss has managed to beat bama twice in the distant past. What does that prove... it proves that YES, even the sun shines on a dog's arse.

You guys have been waiting, what, 20 years or so to have a season like this so you can unleash all this pent up self loathing? Well, congrats, your one season has finally arrived.

Soak it up boys and girls! Enjoy it, have fun with it. Cause it's probably going to be another 20+ years before you get to do it again.

And, as already pointed out, even in our worst year as a conference in a loooong time, we still have 5 teams in the top 10.

TLDR; suck it ACC

Auburn would have a better chance going undefeated this year with your schedule, than to go 10-2 with the SEC schedule they have.

Congrats. You have all these hypothetical scenarios of IF this team was in the ACC they would do this....

The ACC has the record on the field and 2 of the last 3 natties, one of which the best team who won every regular season game by at least 3 TD’s in the SEC was blown off the field.

GTFO of here with this conference BS.

Clemson was one play away from losing to a team with a losing record in the ACC. And they want to call themselves an elite program. Give me a break.

Fair point but we’re not talking about Clemson. We’re talking about a South Carolina fan claiming that they are the second best team on our schedule when they just lost to a team on our schedule.

We've been taking it easy on y'all... I can only imagine the shite you would be spewing if Lsu or bama had to stop a 2 point conversion to beat unc.

Clemson is for sure an elite program right now. You're a Scar fan though, so we can't blame you for not knowing what an elite team looks like

Teams that don't suck arse:
ACC: 1 (Clemson)
SEC: 5 (Bama, UGA, LSU, Auburn, Florida)

Florida will be exposed soon. And LSU will stop caring after they get shite kicked by Bama.

Then UGA and Bama play for the SEC. UGA has gotten by playing the SEC Least teams all year so they dont know how to close or finish a game. And Bama has played 2 tough games in the regular season so they are more battle tested than UGA and come out on top.

You're right. They are NOT the 2nd hardest team on your schedule.

They are the HARDEST team on your schedule if you go by ESPN's FPI calculator....

Clemson 98.9% Georgia Tech 1.1%
Clemson 86.8% Texas A&M 13.2%
Clemson 96.8% Syracuse 3.2%
Clemson 99.5% Charlotte 0.5%
Clemson 94.1% UNC 5.9%
Clemson 93.9 FSU 6.1%
Clemson 93.4% Louisville 6.6%
Clemson 98.3% BC 1.7%
Clemson 99.7% Wofford 0.3%
Clemson 94.5% NCSU 5.5%
Clemson 95.2% Wake 4.8%
Clemson 83.9% South Carolina 16.1%

How does Scar have a higher chance of beating Clemson, and a team that beat Scar has a lower percent chance of beating Clemson? That should tell you that those numbers dont mean shite

Because of math.

quote:

The results of analytics such as FPI are not black-and-white -- they give us likelihoods of outcomes, not certainties. Therefore, when FPI gives a team a 75 percent chance to win and that team loses, FPI is not necessarily “wrong.” A team with a 75 percent chance to win should lose one out of every four times, and if every team with a 75 percent chance to win does in fact win, the system is broken.

Therefore, we track how well a system is calibrated, and as can be seen in the chart above, when FPI gave a team between a 70 percent and an 80 percent chance to win, those teams actually won 73 percent of the time.
