Red headed step child?

Gamecock fans when they have won 2 of the last 10 by a grand total of 4 points in a series dominated by Clemson

What have you done for me lately is the name of the game and is the entire basis of the lobbying for the playoff. Bama, Clemson, Ole Miss and SMU all fell off a cliff to end the season. 

Someone else went undefeated on the back half beating 4 ranked teams along the way. 

 

How you play down the stretch has to matter and I actually picked Clemson to beat Texas. I still think Texas isn't that good. Clemson just didn't show up.

Clemson sure does own a lot of real estate out there

I mean it’s sort of weird that the official SEC account is thinking so hard…about them 12 seeded Clemson Tigers 

I guess they didn’t like Cade Klubnik maybe exposing yet again that often these SEC and also BIG10 defenses are often just sort of conference creations at the end? I do think the college playoffs have often shown that many times. 

Clemson might of lost but over the last decade they sort of have made a habit of proving the SEC Ds are built different narrative is sort of a conference creation.  Hell they went into a game with tiny Hunter Renfrow out wide at #1 because of injury and cooked the Bama D once.   Cooked the hyped greatest Bama team of all time allegedly with a freshman WR/Freshman QB year.m another year.  With no threat of rushing the ball, Texas should have held Clemson to virtually no offense yesterday.  Guess they salty about that trend or something

SEC fans:  We built different! We should have had all the teams in for the college football playoff! 

Reality:  Biggest embarrassment first round of the CFP? SEC team. 

other bowl games? SEC losses to AAC conference team.  

You're assuming those SEC teams are taking bowl games seriously. Hell aren't most of those SEC teams have opt out because of the draft?

 

Kind of hard to take these bowl games seriously not many people paying attention to a meaningless bowl game. Everything is about the playoffs. Even the playoffs have been non competitive. Are you blaming the ACC teams for not showing up?

 

It goes both ways. Making fun of the SEC is the last thing I would be doing. Top to bottom they are still the best conference.

Random takeaways:

McCord is solid. He’s not some sure fire 1st but if Derek Carr and Kirk Cousins can carve out careers, I think he could too.

Not on the stat sheet tonight, but Pena is really good for Cuse. 

This Arkansas kid Taylen Green is someone to watch the next few years if he develops well.

Green is a junior and like you I'm going to keep an eye on him. He looks to have nfl potential if he has it between the ears and has the drive to be great.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
