FSU has 4 ACC titles in the last 11 years. You "conveniently" cut it off at the last 10. No school has more ACC titles than FSU since the ACC expanded to 12+ members. No school has more titles than FSU since the ACC expanded to 14 members. FSU has twice as many ACC titles as Clemson since the ACC expanded to 12+ (and 14) members. FSU out-paces Clemson 15-2 in ACC titles since 1992, when FSU joined. FSU has 15 ACC titles to the rest of the ACC's 9 in that time (I did not count UVA or GT's shared titles since FSU went to the bowls).
But for whatever reason, you only count the "modern era" from 2002 onward. What a coincidence. That's the ONLY time period in which Clemson has a winning record against FSU. How ironic that 2002 just happens to be around the beginning of FSU's "lost decade". Bobby Bowden was already 73 at that point (much older than Beamer, Spurrier, Brown, etc at retirement age). I think one could easily argue the "modern era" of ACC football didn't begin until 1992. But even if you wish to use 2004 (or 2013), there is no peer to FSU in the ACC since then, either.
Even coming off a very poor/mediocre stretch from 2001-2009, FSU still has more ACC titles than ANYONE since 2001, and only trails the rest of the ACC 6-9 in overall titles since 2001. That is, of course, little thanks to Clemson's almightiness; chipping in just 22% of the ACC's total of 9. You keep talking about Clemson being 7-6 against FSU in the last 13 meetings, but let's look just slightly closer at that record. From 2003-2009, Bowden's final 7 seasons, Clemson went 5-2 against FSU. Since Fisher took over, Clemson is 2-4. See, what had happened was, is, you got fat on an old man. I cannot imagine how much your butt hurts knowing that over 50% of your all-time wins against FSU came during a 7-year period against a man who was aged 74-to-80 years old during the games. Impressive work. I would probably put a plaque up inside your stadium to commemorate it. And I'd be sure to include an asterisk like your 2012* division crown.
Clemson is, BY EVERY ACCOUNT, no better than the second rung of national teams. You are Oregon. You are Georgia. You are Wisconsin. You are not Florida State. You are not Ohio State. You are not even Auburn (then DOMINATE you all-time and have a MUCH more recent national title.
Let's talk a little about Clemson's stellar SEC OOC scheduling.
You've faced in the OOC (non-bowls):
Alabama just 1 time since 1975 (but it was an "Atlanta" game and those don't count, per you)
Auburn just 3 times since 1971
Texas A&M just 2 times since 1974
Those are teams you've faced since 2002, yes, that you've also specifically mentioned in this thread? So do you ALWAYS schedule two SEC schools or is that just something you've made up?
Since your beloved 2002 "modern era" start date, FSU has faced:
* BYU thrice
* ND thrice (only twice if you want to say 2014 was "forced")
* OU twice
* Bama once (in Jacksonville, setup by the SCHOOLS, not the conferences, to be played prior to Bowden's ever-nearing retirement)
* Miami twice (pre-ACC membership)
* OK State once (58 wins 2010-present, SUBSTANTIALLY BETTER TEAM than UNC/NC State)
* Syracuse twice (pre-ACC)
* Colorado thrice
* Iowa State once (included only because of "power" conference status)
And EVERYBODY knew about WVU backing out. And then there was the whole issue of the ACC going from 8- to 9-game schedules before dropping back to 8 and screwing over EVERYONE'S OOC schedule for at least one season. Many people may even recall Auburn backing out from a game scheduled for 1999 after firing Terry Bowden, forcing FSU to open the season with LaTech.
You said you named two seasons in which FSU had crappy OOC games? May I point you towards Clemson's 2006 schedule: Temple, Florida Atlantic and Louisiana Tech. Oh, dear, and what happened to 2007? You played Louisiana-Monroe, Central Michigan and Furman. That is some FANTASTIC scheduling if I may say so.
You say FSU didn't want to face Auburn in Atlanta. I assume this is because you believe Auburn's AD when he says they were open to facing ANYBODY but that nobody wanted to play them. Well, we all know that's a flatout lie. Why would FSU agree to play Alabama (2017) but be afraid of Auburn? Why did FSU settle on Ole Miss (2016) when all prior talks were that FSU was in discussions with LSU, UGA, SCar and Auburn? Perhaps - just PERHAPS - it's because those schools don't want to face FSU. Perhaps they "like" what they see in Clemson, VT, NC State, Louisville and UNC more.
Jameis Winston is dumb as a rock? A kid who had a 4.0 GPA in high school, took AP courses and was admitted into Stanford is unintelligent? Someone who has received universal praise from NFL personnel for his acumen in meeting rooms and on the chalk board? For sure, I'd much rather take the word of a "38-year old" who types like a 3-toothed 12-year old than the opinions of numerous professionals and evidence suggesting the contrary.
Lastly, you say Auburn and Clemson have little shared history. Well, I'll just leave it to your fellow Clemson fans to call out your ignorance there. But you also said Auburn doesn't look like Clemson, or vice versa.
