Here is my reply to SEC fans comparing Clemson to SEC.

You talk about all the championships the SEC has won. Too make the math simple, lets' just look at the last 10 years.

SEC 6 championships
Clemson 2 championships

You like to brag that makes the SEC 3 times as good as Clemson.

But, look a little closer.

SEC has 16 teams in it (counting TX and OU). Those 16 teams have won 6 championships. That is 0.375 championships per team.

So, using your logic Clemson is 5.33 times better than the SEC.

That's one way to look at it.

All I can say is that Clemson would raise the football quality of the SEC - not to mention the academic quality.

My way is no more or less accurate as their way.

Any SEC fan would quickly scoff at my logic. But, I maintain, my logic is exactly equal to theirs.

Bama has two, Clemson has two and UGAy has two.

That's the stat which is most applicable. I like yours best but that the only one with any real value.

ESPiN has built this mindset that the lowest of the SEC football teams are better than the best of any other conference. It's as if that patch on the jerseys adds skill, speed and power to the bodies of anyone who bears it.

Logically, if that were true, Clemson's only competition, were our players to wear that patch, our only competition would be our scout team and God Almighty.

Take away Alabama and Georgia and the SEC basically becomes the Big 12 over the last ten years. Yeah LSU will have a good year every once in a while but the rest of the conference is absolutely nothing special no matter how much they tell us otherwise.

Does any SEC school compare to Clemson academically other than Vanderbilt?

There are probably umpteen ways to rank universities, but two of the more popular/trusted university rankings are US News & World Report, and Forbes. Another one that seems to be popular is Niche (although Im not overly familiar with it). But they all have similar numbers for each of the schools you mentioned:

School USNWR Forbes Niche
Fla 28 27 36
Tex 32 31 42
UGA 47 54 49
Clem 86 76 91

Who has ever said the SEC is three-times better than Clemson?

Bret, you don't have to get so far off the beaten path with tortured logic to win approval here.
