Ole Miss, UCF & Mutts?

I know many of you are drooling at the mouth for losses but wtf…. Why did we do this? Throw in Clemson and this is BS!

Can we compile a list here….thanks
 
Dude, we are the Notre Dame of the South!

If we were good, we would be salivating over the opportunity to play and beat the best of the best.

But because we suck, all the "rejoin the SEC - why did we ever leave the SEC?? people now complain about our tough schedule.

Not you, specifically but in general, Tech fans are among the stupidest fans in college football.
 
This was unlucky. The Ole Miss game was supposed to be played while CPJ was still here. They kept postponing. We should be done with UCF as well, if not for the Hurricane in 2017.

Under CPJ, everyone complained the ACC was weak, then as soon as Geef took over and handed everyone else an extra win, suddenly our schedule is sooo tough.

The ACC was weak under Johnson; then this school called Clemson emerged as a NC contender in 2015 and barely lost to Bama for a NC. Clemson didn't lose to Tech from 2015 - 2018 once they reached that level and, during that time, Kirby Smart built the dwags into a national championship contender as well.

Talk all the crap you want but having to play Clemson & UGA every year, with their programs at the level they are, is a tough row to hoe for any team. Throw in UCF and Ole Miss as OOC games for us this year and the schedule wouldn't be doing any Tech coach a favor.

Those are hopeless games now. Under CPJ or Gailey or GOL we could dream of beating a decent team, a top 15 team, even top 5 teams. Everyone got pumped for those games, looked forward to them, planned tailgates. Now we dread those games because we know 30, 40, 50, 70 point losses have become our norm.
 
Honestly, does it really even matter who we play? We turn our easily winnable games into losses. Who TF cares that we play Clemson, uGA, Ole Miss, and UCF in a season when we allow teams like the Citadel and NIU to come to our house and eat our lunch?

I just want us to start beating teams we should roll.
 
Always a fun exercise to compare our schedule against other ACC teams.

Temple
Northwestern
NC A&T
Kansas
Virginia
GT
UNC
Miami
BC
VT
Pitt
WF

The permanent rivalry games do us no favors when it's hard for us to consider each other rivals given the current state of our program. Last year might be a sign that Clemson is coming back down to earth, but if I were AD, I would be lobbying the ACC for some relief and I sure as hell wouldn't have ever signed us up to play a school like UCF.

Interesting that you pick 2015 as the inflection point for Clemson. They were #5 when we skull ööööed them in 2011 - the start of their 10+ win / season streak. We were competitive with them 2011-2014 beating them twice. They were 40-9 against other teams over that stretch.

You’re correct that they weren’t National title
Contenders until 2015, but I think that glosses over part of the story.

Madness that a team in our division has that schedule compared to ours. Even in our current state I’d be blocking off days for a road trip in December.

Boy, you must be some dreamer. In CPJs last two years we were outscored by Clemson 73-31 and UGA 83-28. However, it is good to have dreams.

Convenient you only picked 2 of the 25 year range I referenced.

And FWIW 73-28 is a huge improvement over the current regime. And that’s with Clemson playing a backup punter at qb in 2020, and Georgia taking their foot off our throats in the third quarter twice, At current pace, It will take us almost 10 years to score 4 touchdowns against UGA

I'm sure Collins will use the same excuse in early November as he's saying we just don't see the progress as we're sitting on 2 wins
