I took the division 1 opponents of all the teams that Carolina and Clemson has played this year and here are the results.
Clemson's opponents were outscored by 377 total points and had a overall combined record of 36 wins and 52 losses.
Carolina's opponents were outscored by 35 total points and had an overall combined record of 48 wins and 49 losses, Clemson's worst opponents were BC -123 points, Duke -128 Points and Wake Forrest -129 Points. OBTW Auburn finished @
-107 points. Clemson had two opponents on the positive side Georgia Tech had + 63 points and FSU had + 208 points.
Carolina's worst opponents were Kentucky -211 points and an 0 - 9 overall W / L record Arkansas was -101 points. In contrast Vanderbilt had a 5-4 overall W / L record but finished @ only -1 point. Carolina had three opponents on the plus side
Georgia @ +181 points, LSU +143 points and Florida +132 points
If you throw out all of the non Division 1 opponents Clemson had 1 team with a winning record FSU @ 8-1 Duke, Ga. Tech and NC State all ended up @ 5-5.
If you throw out all of the non Division 1 opponents Carolina had 5 teams with a winning record Vandy 5-4, East Carolina 6-4 ,Georgia 9-1, LSU 8-2, Florida 9-1.
Just numbers that mean nothing for Saturday night but I thought that it was something to look at.
