What kind of got lost this past Thursday with the Xavier Thomas news, the revised ACC schedule and the start of fall camp, was Dabo Swinney’s comments on the SEC’s decision to cancel the Clemson-South Carolina game this season.
The SEC announced on July 30 its member schools were going to play a 10-game conference-only schedule. The conference’s decision came a day after the ACC announced a 10+1 model, leaving the door open for the Palmetto State’s biggest game to be played, as well as other traditional rivalry games between the two conferences – Florida State-Florida, Georgia Tech-Georgia and Louisville-Kentucky.
