Here's How This College Football Analyst Thinks Clemson Would Do In The SEC

I know a lot of folks say this is just SE puffery, but as opposed to the ACC slate Clemson has faced over the recent past I have know doubt the odds of some blemishes on their record would increase significantly. Clemson darn near screwed around last year a time or two and almost got burned in the process, one of those to an SEC team (aTm). Clemson has struggled generally the past few years for their wins VS the rank and file SEC teams as well(aside from USCe) so I have no doubt they would not be sitting so pretty if they had the SEC slate to face.

Agree

Dumb..... Clemson destroyed the SEC champ last year. Too much weight given to the middle of the pack SEC teams including LSU.

I don't care how good you are, its real hard to go undefeated in the SEC. There is not one SEC team who wouldn't trade with ANY other team from any conference, if it was based on yearly schedule.

Soooo funny. People can’t cant get over that Clemson whacked Alabama

I do not disagree here. Clemson would definitely have been formidable and likely competition for division champs and right to represent the East in Georgia for the SEC ship. But, undefeated? No.

Truth to power.

The SEC is rough. Don't teams average losing 4-5 starters per year to injury? The teams success often depends on how good the next man up is.

TampaTiger2200 east division? Because LSU abused Georgia last year. Yeah. UGA has abused their division opponents the last 2 years

Mississippi state?ahhahahahahahahhahahahaha LSU who can't even score on Bama? You think they would be able to score on Clemson? Hahahaha and they beat Auburn's arse almost yearly. This narrative is hilarious, I agree they may not go undefeated hut they would lose 1 game minimum

This is so tired at this point

It’s hard to go undefeated in any conference

It not the individual games, it the cumulative effect of playing tough competition week after week.

SEC West would be a tough slog for any team...SEC East (where Clemson would likely play) not so much outside of UGa

They would still be good but they would not roll into the college football playoffs with no injuries. Playing Virginia, north Carolina, nc state, wake...it's a joke. Bama would beat each one of these, literally, by 70 points. Playing bama, auburn, LSU, miss state, arkie, Georgia, Florida, etc takes a toll on any sec team. It is much, much more difficult than just having to get up once or twice a year. Yea, Clemson beat Bama down and had a great plan but let's not act like Bama was hundred percent. In the sec, by the time u get to the 8th game u are a MASH unit. Trevor would have to deal with actually being hit week after week by top calibre defensive players. Dabo and Clemson nation can play up that schedule but even they know it's a joke.

Bama outscored it’s division opponents 314-92. I see what you mean by intimidating schedule.??

Tony, I would imagine Clemson would get hit by top caliber defensive players as much as they did in the CFP, not much and not often.

OMG, are you serious. SEC is leaps and bounds better than the ACC!! period

they are good enough to compete. but keep in mind, had they been in the SEC the whole time they wouldnt have been in those national title games. at least not all of them. which means that recruiting would not have been as good. the whole spiral effect

FACTS are FACTS. I completely agree. No other conferences can duplicate the SEC meat grinder.
