What if the Gamecocks were in the ACC this year?

Jeremy Brevard-USA TODAY Sports

ACC football schedule is boring. There I said it. Bah-bah-boring. Even if you're fan of an ACC team, you can't get away with saying you have a difficult season. Since the invention of SEC football and over the years, it has become the center stage for college football and it will be for years. The reason? The fans, the excitement, and most importantly the season is brutal. Bama, Auburn, LSU, Florida, UT, UGA and on and on and on.

So GABA readers, I truly believe if we could have this year to be in the ACC (just this year), I would NOT be concerned at all about our secondary, or the starting QB. I am confident we would have a LOT better season than last year - IF we had an ACC schedule.

If the Gamecocks had a match-up preference this year, it would be one like Clemson Tiger's football schedule in the ACC, easy-sneezy-breezy through and through.

Look at it like this...

Gamecocks against Wake? Boston College? Georgia Tech? Duke? (actually, they might be good, LOL). NC State? We would beat any of those team or lose to them (this year) BUT....for reals, I would give up playing Mizzou, A&M, UK, and Vandy to play any of those ACC teams. Wouldn't you?

How about Miami, UNC or Louisville? Well, to be honest, I would upgrade from beer to bourbon on the tailgate. But still, I would rather play Miami and Louisville than UGA, Tennessee, Florida, Auburn, Ole Miss, Arkansas, and Mississippi State. Wouldn't you?

Okay, the only two programs in the ACC that are actually good is Florida State and Clemson.

Yet...

I would rather play FSU and Clemson than BAMA, or LSU.

I don't bring this up to make excuses for the Gamecock football program dear GABA readers, but I point this out because it's the reality where we are. In the SEC!! The highest revenue generator for all of college football. Center stage and in the spotlight. The SEC gets the most eyeballs in terms of college football television ratings. It has the most fans in attendance with 49 million screaming fans!!

Yes, I would love to have an ACC like schedule. It would be a winning season but it would be a boring one too.
