  1. I think Clemson is very mediocre. They wouldn't even have sniffed the playoffs if not for winning the worst power conference in the country. They're a 3 loss team that was a couple plays away from having 5 losses in the worst power conference. They don't suck but they aren't a playoff-caliber team. Almost every advanced metric has Clemson and A&M ranked next to each other. That's about who they are as a team.
  2. It almost backfired but Georgia treated this game as a game to rest players. They didn't play their LT Earnest Greene, their best offensive weapon in Etienne, and sat a couple key contributors on D that also played against Texas. Georgia had zero respect for Georgia Tech. Like I said, it almost backfired but it worked.
  3. I don't. The ACC is ass. Clemson even making the ACC conference championship is a product of Miami being a complete fraud. Sagarin has the ACC as the worst power conference behind the SEC, Big 12, and Big 10. Both are going to lose by double digits and everyone will realize the ACC does indeed suck.
  4. #33. Our special teams haven't been as bad as people think. While Bert sucks and our punter sucks, we don't give up big returns in the kicking game. We also don't have huge negative plays on returns. I can honestly live with the short punts because teams don't have any return game against us. Bert is the one that needs to get his shit together.
  5. Good news too is that Clemson and ASU both have terrible special teams. Clemson #88 SFEI and ASU #76 SFEI.
  6. I think something being overlooked is how important this 2-week break is for Texas. IMO, we are the team that will benefit most from this. Ewers has been at 75%, two of our top WRs have not been anywhere close to healthy, and Banks has been out at LT. Our offense has been a mash unit for a few weeks. Getting those guys back to 100% is significant.
  7. Yeah, it was just a bad start by SMU. I actually think SMU > Clemson. SMU outgained Clemson 458 yards to 326. This is also why they value conference championship games way too much. Clemson has been nowhere close to a playoff team all year but because they barely beat a borderline top-15 team (SMU) that pushes them over the edge. Laughable. They should just get rid of auto-bids in general.
  8. Clemson didn't take care of business. They limped into the ACC championship game with 3 losses and barely beat SMU. Luckily for Clemson, Miami ended up being a fraud or Clemson wouldn't have even made the ACC championship game or the playoffs.
  9. Clemson winning the ACC is really what fucked things up across the board. They haven't been a playoff-caliber team all year so them winning the ACC is what made things difficult.
  10. Clemson is 2-3 this season against teams with a winning record. The 2 wins being 7-5 Pitt and SMU.
  11. Their schedule after Georgia was laughable. App St 5-6, NC State 6-6, Stanford 3-9, FSU 2-10, Wake Forest 4-8, Virginia 5-7, Louisville 8-4, Virginia Tech 6-6, Pitt 7-5, Citadel 5-7. The fact this Clemson team almost ended up a 5 loss team should tell you they aren't that great.
  12. Boise would have been a better quarters draw but ASU is still very favorable considering the other options out there. SMU vs Clemson is a coin flip. Similar caliber teams and with SMU we would have to deal with all the in-state/rivalry/little bro bullshit. That would be a huge game for SMU.
  13. You hate to lose the SEC championship game and there is an advantage to getting a bye but I don't think there's any doubt the loss helped us. ASU on a neutral field is a much better draw than any of Tennessee, Ohio State, or Georgia.
  14. I always chuckle at phrases like "Klubnik is a gamer and gamers are scary in elimination games." Complete word salad. It's pretty much CJ admitting the guy isn't very good but "he's got heart and that matters in big moments." That shit is so overplayed.
  15. I know Texas has a tendency to piss down their own leg but I feel people thinking the 10.5 line is crazy haven’t watched Clemson this year. They’re like 2 plays away from being a 5 loss team.
  16. FEI has Clemson at 16 and ASU at 15. Home and neutral site games against two borderline top 15 teams is about as good a draw as you can ask for.
  17. Embarrassing effort. This isn’t even about being good or bad, we just simply haven’t showed up. Looks like a team that was on 6th street last night.
  18. SMU vs Texas is the juiciest 1st round match-up and you can easily make it work based on seeding.
  19. Yeah, I had this same thought. I don't think they want SEC v SEC in round 1. They will adjust seedings to avoid it if Bama gets in.
  20. If we won the SEC championship we would have almost certainly had to play Georgia, Ohio State, or Tennessee in the quarters.
  21. If we draw SMU and then Boise State there are going to be so many people bitching about BOMC and how we rigged it.
  22. Yeah, I agree. I think you can justify ND being seeded above us even if it's debatable. Ohio State and Penn State should not be seeded above us.
  23. Neither should be seeded above us. 1) We played a tougher SOS. 2) Ohio State has a much worse loss (Michigan) and Penn State's loss (Ohio State) is worse than Georgia based on seeding. 3) Penn State has struggled with some bad teams in USC, Minnesota, and Bowling Green (all single digit wins). 4) Ohio State didn't play for CCG.
  24. If Penn State is seeded above us, I will be annoyed. No reason it should happen.
