Ok HONEST QUESTION: Do Clemson fans want to open with UGA in ‘24?

Feb 20, 2023, 6:23 PM

This is absolutely not a flame. Being 100% honest.

Clemson is a solid team. No doubt and will remain so. But, for whatever reason, Clemson has struggled greatly against Georgia. That is simply a fact.

I always said that you play the easiest schedule possible that STILL allows you to reach all of your goals. History has proven me to be correct on this.

With college football expanding, an argument can be made that it is OK to play tougher teams. But, other teams at the end of the year are going to be vying for a certain number of play off spots.

At the end of the year if you have 9 or 10 wins, but multiple losses and another team has 11 wins and maybe one loss I am just not sure who will get in? Is it worth it to play a great team and lose? In reality how much is that “tougher” schedule going to really matter? I’d take an extra win over North Central State East Campus and have the extra win. Not to mention the attrition factor.

I subscribe to the path of least resistance. That may not be popular, and good people can disagree. But, the hushed up dirty little secret is this - it works.

Do the Clemson fans want to open the 2024 season against Georgia? In Atlanta?

100% yes.... I wish it was the opener every year. 45 minutes apart. I realize the record in huge in favor of UGA. Got it... you won the last two nattys. Congrats.

I look forward to the game, expect UGA to be favored, but know it will be a good game. Hoping for a Tigers win, but if it doesn't happen, will try again the next year at Death Valley.

I understand the path of least resistance is the smart play. Get the W, get the back-ups quality reps, survive and advance. I wish strength of schedule was so important, it would all be big-time match-ups each week for the off-season games, but that is not the reality.

But... as a fan, I wish we started every year vs UGA. Like I said... 45 minutes apart.
