Mr. Finebaum before the Clemson SC game said "this will be the first legitimate team Clemson plays in a long time" - now that Clemson rolled over them the SC team is no longer legitimate? so to his mind everybody that Clemson beats is automatically "not a legitimate opponent"? BUT if SC is not a legitimate team then WHY is GA still in the top 10 since SC BEAT them!?!?Seems to me that Mr. Finebaum has a grudge against the ACC so much so that it's clouding his logic - either USC is a legitimate team that beat UGA making UNC (who beat USC) a FAR tougher opponent, than the vast majority of the SEC and given UNC's middle of the ACC performance makes the ACC NOT a "weak" conference.The point is, "you can't have your cake and eat it too" and Mr. Finebaum can't seem to make up his mind

Dabo made his comments to motivate his players, which would work best if the media responded to his comments. Paul Finebaum got punked by Dabo, just like Reese Davis did last year. When Dabo is surrounded by media pundits, he is always the smartest person in the room. Dabo did not get insulted, because the entire conversation that Paul Finebaum considered whining was Dabo using the media to motivate his players to feel they have something to prove. Dabo does this every single year at some point, and these idiots in the media just keep taking the bait. When Dabo made the ROY bus comment to Reece Davis, Reese was shaking his head because he knew he got punked. In this video, Paul is also just sort of shaking his head, because deep down, he knew he had also gotten punked.

[@bertsmith6778]

I have respect for you Dabo, you have done a great job. But, to start in on GA., come on man. What about Bama, did they not try to keep them in the CFP's every week, even putting them over GA. If Brown would have kicked the xtra point instead of going for 2, who knows how that game would have turned out. You could easily had a loss. So keep dissing the Dawgs if that is who you are. Yea, they lost to SC, and you whipped them. Just maybe you will see the Dawgs come the 28th, and you can talk some trash then. But don't be saying how good they are, and giving them respect then.
