For the life of me, I can't understand this...

Here are the high-profile OOC games Georgia has scheduled within the next 10 years...
Oregon, Oklahoma, Clemson, UCLA, Florida State, Texas, Ohio State
(UGA will play 4 of these 7 teams within the next 5 years.)
Here are the high-profile OOC games Clemson has scheduled within the next 10 years...
Notre Dame, Georgia, LSU
Why can't we play more high-profile OOC teams the way Georgia (and many others) are doing? I'd love to play Oregon, USC, Texas, Michigan. Even a team as close by as Florida...we've never played them in my 47 years on Earth. That's ludicrous in my opinion.
But yet here we are...Akron, App State, Florida Atlantic, UConn, Louisiana Tech, Troy...no wonder America wants to slam our schedule every year. If if you're being completely honest, who can blame them?

I hope as much as the next Clemson fan that Jeff Scott has a lot of success at USF, but are we seriously counting that as scheduling well for Bama?
USF at this point is not any different than Wyoming, Troy, or Akron. They have been a mediocre Group of 5 team lately.
Bama has 2 years in the next 10 where they have more than 1 Power 5 OOC game.

It looks like a far better schedule than any other team's ooc schedule that is listed in this thread. So.... Yes it is. And on top of that they will continue to have to play a SEC schedule that most schools including Clemson(unfortunately) would stumble over numerous times. Just like bama did this last year. Clemson only has a winning record versus two teams in the SEC. South Carolina and Texas am. It's worst percentage is against Alabama at 2 wins and 11 losses. It's next worst percentage is against Tennessee at 1 win and 4 losses. In Clemson's last 8 games against SEC schools Clemson has went 6 and 2. If that were an SEC schedule Clemson would be left out of CFP. 2 losses just doesn't cut it as a season. That also includes 6 different SEC schools and presents a very similar regular SEC season.
Despite the tough SEC schedule bama has scheduled some of the biggest names in college football

2 losses u speak of, were playoff losses; not some random reg season sec opponent-the eventual NC in the latter instance, the former-the CFP Championship[fwiw, the vast majority of losses to SEC schools occurred, conservatively est. before 1980(much like our overall record vs Georgia Tech-much earlier than 1980)

UAB twice
Charleston Southern

Or did you conveniently leave those out to make a halfasss point? Those high-profile games UGA plays are one off, not home and home. Ours are home and home plus a neutral site game with UGA.

What's your point about the teams you lists that UGA plays? In 21 when UGA plays UAB and C. Southern, Clemson has SC State and UCONN. In 22 the Dawgs have Samford and Kent St. Know who Clemson plays? La Tech and Furman. In 23, UGA plays UAB while Clemson has Fl. Atlantic and Wofford. I'm not taking a shot a Clemson. I pointing out that Clemson also has their share of cupcakes.

I understand it perfectly. I have no problem with a team "buying two home wins." Money drives the train. Playing an Akron (and paying them a relatively small stipend for coming to Clemson) goes a long, long way to paying for the non-revenue sports. If you can't make more money playing an Oregon or a Texas at a nuetral site game, then why take the chance of losing.
Playoff rules are fairly simple:
1. Win em all and you're in.
2. Lose one and you have a good shot at being in, but you might need some help.
3. Lose 2 and you're out.
At the end of the year, If Clemson finished 12-1 (including winning the conference) with a win over Akron, they would stand a lot better chance to make the playoffs than if they finished 11-2 with a loss to Michigan.
I'm an FSU fan. For years our fans have berated Florida for starting the season with two cupcakes at home. I haven't. Those two home games earned enough profit to pay for ALL their non-revenue sports. And, it didn't hurt their chances for getting to play for the national championship.

This is the best reply I’ve read in this conversation, and everything you say here makes sense.
Right now, Clemson’s regular seasons just aren’t that interesting. A lot of that has to do with the talent gap between Clemson and its opponents. We just aren’t being challenged. I just think scheduling games with these high profile teams we rarely (if ever) play against would kick the interest back up a notch for the regular season.
But what you say makes perfect sense. Thanks for your thoughts.

faulty reasoning and conveying of irrational thought. You took a shot at your own team, a shot taken by SCar fans, UGA fans, and a lot of moron talking heads nearly every single day. I, for one, am going to shed light on that fact.

read your OP, period. You were whining about our schedule vs UGA's...an SEC team...like they play some sort of meat grinder 'OMG' schedule. They do not, now or over the next 5 years. You conveniently left out who else they play in order to make a point that isn't valid. In the process, you sounded like a parrot for opposing fans on a subject that I've grown highly intolerant of because it's nonsense.
Perhaps next time you'll choose your words, thoughts, and tone more carefully. It would help if you first 'for the life of you understand' what the hell you're talking about.

Until they make the SOS so important that teams don't schedule cupcakes, you are correct..... it is more important to win against a lesser opponent than lose to a top team. Opening with a couple easy ones does a bunch of good things for a top program. Lets them settle into their offense and should give plenty of mop up time to assess the younger guys to help decide redshirts, etc. The new redshirt rule changes that a bit, but if you were going into a year with a new QB, I would rather play Furman than a top ten team.
I wish we opened the year every year vs UGA since both schools are so close and fight over every recruit. I was at Clemson from 95-99 and luckily saw a couple Clemson / UGA games. Even though we came up short, I really loved the game when we wore our throwback uniforms (think it was 95). I always love seeing the case in Tigertown Tavern with that uniform in there.
Go Tigers !!!

Those rules apply to everyone but the SEC, they can lose two and still get in the playoffs. The SEC can lose 1, and it's like they didn't lose any!!!!!!

In Clemson's defense, they did schedule Texas A&M for 18 and 19, Auburn for 16 and 17, Notre Dame for 15, and Georgia for 13 and 14. I can't speak to Clemson's schedule moving forward but it doesn't seem they have been reluctant to schedule some pretty good teams out of conference.

You are correct but also being kind. I think ND came in the quasi conference deal where they play so many ACC teams each year. It isnt Clemson going out on their own to schedule them

it's the fact that we're playing the same good teams over and over and over. We have a lot of OOC games scheduled against UGA, ND and LSU.

That's partly because we tend to make them home/home games, rather than one-off neutral site games. So you will play the same teams twice, but it cuts down uncertainty in scheduling, guarantees a home game with a marquee opponent, etc.
And since 2008, we've played regular season OOC games with Alabama, TCU, Texas A&M, Auburn, Georgia, Notre Dame. There is some variety there.

scheduling challenging OOC games? Dabo has been pretty forthcoming in his desired schedule..we always play USuC and try to play one other in-state or regional school. Then we always do have another cupcake, in addition to a mjor OOC game.
That is better than most. When Clemson and TA&M hooked up, many people thought that was going to be potentially epic top 10 match-ups considering how TAM had been recruiting.
Seesm to me that you are complaining just to complain.

It hasn't been that long ago that FSU was one of the better teams in the country that was on our schedule every year. But it is their own fault that they are who they are now. Schools that hire win at any cost coaches usually get bit in their rear end the way FSU has been bc they allowed Jimbo to keep and play real thugs to get a Natty win!!!

The part you are leaving out is that we play Notre Dame FIVE times and UGA FOUR times through 2030.
Then you add LSU in 2 times and you have a major game in every one of the next 11 years. (I made your 10 years into 11 years to include the complete home and away with UGA.)
We can't help playing Notre Dame 5 times.
We can't help playing scar 11 times through 2030. Our game with them has been a big game in the past even though it isn't getting us any credit nationally at the moment.
We play two Power 5 teams every single season now that we have fixed the '21 schedule. That is hardly something to complain about. Many Power 5 teams don't even schedule 1 major OOC game.
Also you included FSU, who we play 11 times through 2030, as a major game for UGA.
Maybe you should ask the question in a different way.
At this point, why would 95% of Power 5 teams risk their chances at a win by scheduling Clemson?
Ohio St is the only team on UGA's list that would have been able to play a competitive game with Clemson in the last 3-5 years. The others would have had to hope that we played a down game to give them a chance.

I wouldn't mind seeing a bit more variation in who we play, but Georgia is not playing any more actual "high profile" out of conference games than Clemson is. Clemson's match-ups are actually probably a little bit more difficult with Notre Dame, Georgia, LSU making up all 10 games, which will likely be a bit higher rated than UCLA, Virginia, or Texas (maybe) when they play.
And it's probably a toss-up as to who is more difficult between Georgia Tech and South Carolina most years.

Is your complaint...
Feb 21, 2020, 1:22 PM
|

...that you'd rather us play *different* marquee OOC games?
If so, then yeah, I can understand your point. It'd be nice to play a series against a team we rarely get to play. I can get behind that.
But if your point is that we need to schedule *harder* marquee OOC games, the I think you're list of teams we play is a bit disingenuous as every season in the foreseeable future we have scheduled at least one marquee OOC game.
Again if your issue is us not playing enough *different* teams, I can get behind that(and that would make sense as to why you include UCLA in your lauding of the UGA schedule), however I think our scheduled OOC games stand up (in strength) against dang near every other team in the country.

I think the chief reason we find ourselves in this situation is due to the contractual obligations of playing ND 5 or so times in the next decade (as well as needing/wanting to primarily maintain 7 home games a year).

I think the reason I said that is because from an outsider's point of view, when looking at a glance (without actually looking at our future schedules), they would see where someone like UGA has 7 big OOC opponents coming up, whereas Clemson only has 3.
I appreciate honest discussion on this board, so thanks for asking the question.

Now I understand. I agree that some variation would be fun.

I believe once FSU, Miami and another ACC team or 2 rises up and I believe they will with new coaches in their 1st, 2nd and 3rd year. Maybe not powerhouses but good solid teams. Clemson will have one heck of a good schedule in and out of conference that will rival anyone's schedule. THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

It does add fuel to the fire and in turn draws attention from casuals who glom on to their side of the argument-

The very simple answer as to why we have less variation is....Notre Dame. We aren't choosing to play them 5 times, it's part of the ACC contract. That takes 5 years of variation off the table.

That is very true. I would like to think that if Notre Dame was a non-factor, we would vary our high-profile opponents as opposed to only playing a second SEC team every year.

If we DID limit our oppnents to the SEC, the first time or two that we play Florida or Tennessee might be fun. I am looking forward to the LSU home and home.

The last time Clemson had 'variation', the conferences all thought they were expanding their conference schedules, so Ole Miss and Oklahoma State went 'poof'. No one's fault, per se, but it still sucked.
'Variation' point #2...it takes two to tango...the attractive 'variations' need an opening. Unless all Power 5's limit their schedules to one 'lesser' opponent (non-5, FCS), where will the opening come from?

almost as bad as some of the small schools. Time was you had to know someone who knew someone who knew someone to get a ticket; the last few games weren't even sellouts. Playing SCar will never help Clemson, only has the potential to hurt. I know the "rivalry" has lasted 125 years or so and I think there is still legislation that requires they play each other but it sure isn't the game it used to be. Texas / Texas A&M have survived without playing each other....

Gee, I wonder when fans with tickets and the ticket offices will figure out we don't want to pay $110 to watch a 4-7 team. Dropping the tickets last second doesn't help sales.

Because ND plays us like 5 times this next decade because of skipping out last time.

In the last ten years Clemson has played.....
Feb 24, 2020, 10:59 AM
|

Auburn 5 times
SC 10 times
TAMU 2 times
Georgia 2 times
Notre Dame 1 time, plus a play off game
All those match up were part of home and home series that took us on the road.
Plus Clemson has played games against the following top 5 teams: Ohio State (2), LSU, Alabama (4), Oklahoma (2). Our post season play also included another LSU game and a WVU game. Overall, our schedule has been superior to that played by Georgia. Our regular season has taken us to games the Bulldogs only dream of winning. Plus Clemson has won 2 Nattys. Over the last 10 years Clemson ranks 3rd in the nation in winning percentage. Over the last ten years Clemson has won 17 more games than the Bulldogs.
So what I can't understand is why a Clemson fan would envy Georgia's upcoming schedule and forget which team has clearly been the best over the past decade.

in Florida’s case, they have not played out of conference,

Out of state home and homes in decades.
They are now looking at doing it, but that has been a scheduling policy of theirs for years.
