I can see it now... "Clemson Struggles Mightily Against Wofford, wins on last second field goal".

More evidence of the superior quality of Southern Cooking, brought to you by ESPN.
Autzen Stadium... Where great teams go to die...Hard!

How come PAC12 teams can't schedule cupcakes in the middle of the season, like clemson and SEC teams? Its essentially like giving them an extra bye week.

It's because the SEC schedules only 8 conference games and the ACC made Clemson's season opener a conference game instead of a non-con patsy game.

In Clemson's case, its conference games are the patsies: A & M & Wofford are 5-2. Clemson's conference opponents so far, 22-25. Louisville, 5-3, the only one with a winning record. Roar, Tigers.

The ACC only plays 8 conference games too.

I do think everyone should play 9 and have to schedule one power 5 conference game a year though. This year LSU played all their non-con games at the beginning of the season. Normally we would have a easy win after bama or the week before or bye before bama

I missed that after glancing at their schedule. Just assumed their final game this season was against another ACC team when it's actually South Carolina.

There is a few SEC East and ACC games at the end of the year. Florida State vs Florida and I think Georgia vs Georgia tech also play yearly

Agreed. We should try and make things as linear as possible. If not, frankly the Pac-12 should stop playing 9 conference games, because they only get dinged for it (6 extra losses a conference) as opposed to getting credit for it.

Been saying that for years! I've never understood why everyone doesn't use the 8 game format. It sucks, i don't like our system at all. However if it give a advantage why not?
