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.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
