Let's look at some numbers.


Dec 1, 2013, 11:40 AM

Let's look at Coach Swinney's record in big games. A "big game" being top 25, bowl game, championship game opponent, and South Carolina (because let's face it, that game is important).

11/26/11 14 USC L 13-34
12/3/11 5 VT W 38-10
1/4/12 23 WVU L 70-33

2012 2-2
9/1/12 25 Auburn W 26-19

12/31/12 9 LSU W 25-24

2013 1-2*
9/31/13 5 UGA W 38-35
10/19/13 5 FSU L 14-51
11/30/13 10 USC L 17-31
*Bowl game most likely a top 25 opponent TBD

Coach Swinney is 11-16 in games against top 25 opponents, bowl games, championship games, and against USC in his tenure since being named interim head coach mid-2008.

That isn't a bad record, not great, but not bad. Dabo has taken us to just a couple of wins away from elite status.

Tell me you ?ARE kidding of course! Less than 500 and you say that's not too bad! WOW

No I'm not kidding. You can't expect to be much better than .500 against elite teams. I didn't say it was a great record. I said it was not bad.

Somebody needs to dig up this same stat for coaches past. I'm guessing Dabo has smoked EVERY former CU coach- maybe Danny's record was better? If a coach is close to .500 against ranked teams, that's good.

5 of those teams were unranked, and 5 were ranked 21-25. That's hardly elite. That's a bad record against that bunch, not horrible, but certainly bad.
