You keep highlighting one-off games as if playing an SEC or B1G schedule for the entire year is the same thing as beating a team once. It's not. The grind of better conferences wears you down. They don't get that in the ACC.
Let's see what OU fans think about that if they don't stay in the top in the SEC. They should be able to, but we will see.
I don’t think OU fans expect to dominate like they did in the Big 12. Some of those years they benefitted from crappy UT teams and a down Big 12 overall. Heck, OU hasn’t even dominated the Big 12 the past few years. But they’ll be competitive year in and year out in the SEC for sure.
And, again, Clemson that almost lost to Syracuse that year is going to get additional scares and they are going to get the shit beat out of them even if they win far more than they did against their pussy ACC schedule.
You simply refuse to acknowledge the difference between playing an ACC slate and an SEC slate, and how that makes a difference at the end of the year. That's the point I have been clearly making, @Thiefery also made it. That's the beauty of playing in the ACC ... for example you get Pitt in the CCG, not UGA, Bama, LSU or the like. FSU got Lousiville last year while Bama and UGA played. That's the ACC for you.
You haven’t been paying attention. EVERY team in the SEC (and B1G according to Gorden Gee) plays a murderer’s row schedule. No hurry exceptions..
i get it's not a murderers row but so wasn't Clemson.. I think my 2005 Horns are the best team in my lifetime but even I wouldn't guarantee that they would have finished the season undefeated.. people just going by eye test.. same people had SC beating UT in the Rosebowl that season too
I was being a little sarcastic just to rag conference nutswingers. But not totally because some over exaggerate the difficulty just because of conference affiliation. No doubt Ohio State is more difficult to play than Oklahoma State. But Purdue isn’t any more difficult to play than Iowa State or West Virginia. But according to conference honks, Purdue is a “murderer”.
You say you have acknowledged it but then you don't. Just say you don't believe that playing against tougher teams with better player each week can wear you down, cause injuries that you otherwise you don't get playing shitty teams with lesser players. Going into the CFP healthy instead of being beat up. Just say that isn't true because that is what you keep typing. And, that's the difference they are really going to see when they get into the P2.
I am truly going to enjoy seeing what happens when some of the teams moving into the P2 have to play tougher schedules. You can call it being conference homers, I don't care. And I am addressing the SEC not the B1G because that is what I know. Each year the SEC:
My argument isn’t the SEC isn’t the best conference. The facts like you listed prove it has been. My point is that playing an SEC (or B1G) schedule isn’t 100% murderer’s row like many make it out to be.
All of them. UT and OU will be interesting. We might all be surprised that the PAC was better than we thought, or maybe not.
This is laughable .. you are saying that all but 3 teams Clemson basically played the same schedule than had they been in the SEC. SMH. Moving along.
SEC homers are the worst.
You didn't provide any facts. All of your summary conclusions about playing ranked opponents, etc., don't come close to the facts that would indicate that Clemson had it way easier than had they been in the SEC. But digging into that deep enough to draw meaningful conclusions would take too much time. I think it's obvious, and you don't. So we'll have to leave it at that.
