because he thinks results from the 1800s still have any relevance

I know this is a big topic considering Clemson and FSU in the SEC. On paper it makes sense. I Have no beef with it. It happens, it happens.

However, there is just 2 problems.

1.) That Grant Of Rights. It must be iron clad.
2.) From a marketing standpoint, I think the SECs first choices will probably be UNC and UVA. That's the Charlotte and DC markets in a whole. While Clemson and FSU certainly have the prestige, The SEC already has the market covered in SC and FL. I'd be for it but money talks.

As much as I like your record of FSU vs SCarolina. I'm afraid it's a work of fiction. They use to.beat our butts like a drum when we were independents. That 88 game still haunts me. Anyhow they're like 14-3 vs us. Strangely enough SC does own the record I think it still stands for biggest road win in Tallahassee 52-12 but Jeff Grantz was way before my time.

...and the relevance of your comment?

curious why wouldn't want them in SEC.

A couple of reasons.
First, the SEC doesn't need to expand. Sixteen teams is more than enough (I would have preferred staying at 14). It is already the toughest conference out there.
Second, I don't want Miami or FSU. They both had chances in the past and each opted to go with a weaker conference so, now let them rot.

FSU lost to Clemson 59-10 in 2018 at home and lost 49-0 vs UF on the road in 1973.

I stand corrected. Nice work my friend.

While it's on my mind, didn't Wake Forest beat them like 34-0 in 06 at Doak?

Close, Wake beat them 30-0 in 2006 in Tallahassee.
