Clemson looking at all options for football schedule in 2016 and beyond - Kaplony - 05-29-2014 10:28 PM http://www.tigernet.com/story/football/Clemson-options-football-schedule-2016-12744 Quote:Clemson’s football schedule is set for the 2014 and 2015 seasons, but Clemson Associate Athletic Director Kyle Young is working to fill holes in the schedule for 2016, 2017 and beyond, including looking at home-and-home series with a couple of different SEC schools. Quote:“As far as I know right now, we are using the same scheduling philosophy we’ve used over the last ten years,” Young told TigerNet recently. “Which is South Carolina at the end of every season, and then we have to find two home games and then find another power conference program to play. “ Quote:The ACC recently decided with will stick with an eight-game conference schedule, and Clemson can now look to add a second Power 5 conference opponent each season, starting in 2016. Young told TigerNet the school would look hard at season kickoff games in Atlanta, Arlington and Houston. Included in those discussions is the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Classic in Atlanta – Clemson has played twice in that game, losing to Alabama in 2008 and defeating Auburn in 2012. Quote: “We’ve obviously got a great relationship with the folks at the Chick-fil-A Kickoff. That is also an ESPN game so there is a relationship there. It would be a good one,” he said. “I think we’ve had good turnouts there and I think we’ve had good games. That is definitely something we would look for, but whether that’s in the next couple of years or four to six years, I don’t know yet. It would be an even-numbered year whenever we play there but it’s out there.” RE: Clemson looking at all options for football schedule in 2016 and beyond - jaminandjachin - 05-30-2014 08:46 AM It's amazing how a new coach and better recruiting changes the long term outlook of program. Just a few years ago, Clemson was just another avg ACC team.

RE: Clemson looking at all options for football schedule in 2016 and beyond - Ragu - 05-30-2014 09:20 AM Wish the SEC would sack up and play FSU like they widely play Clemson. RE: Clemson looking at all options for football schedule in 2016 and beyond - jaminandjachin - 05-30-2014 10:18 AM FSU doesn't have the same history with the SEC as Clemson does. Clemson has played Auburn and UGA more that they've even played FSU. RE: Clemson looking at all options for football schedule in 2016 and beyond - ChrisLords - 05-30-2014 10:41 AM Sounds good. Too bad Clemson had to clear their schedules when the ACC thought it was going to 9 games the first time.

The only ones playing Clemson are ones that have played them historically. Outside of Florida, FSU doesn't have history with anyone. SEC generally fears no one. However, there is a shortlist of schools outside of the SEC that is on the list. FSU is one of them.

Clemson has played Auburn and UGA more that they've even played FSU. Especially if they can play the game at home. I think you can put Florida, Kentucky, Ole Miss, MSU, Vandy on the fear list. LSU, Auburn, Georgia, and Tennessee are the most "fearless". Bama, TAMU, Arkansas are somewhat in the middle. |
