Our hardest game this year is @BC

Prove me wrong.
They're better than FSU or A&M (THIS year). I predict a win but I think it will be our toughest game. It's at that time of year where injuries could be nagging us and they have their best roster in years. They'll be 8-1 or 7-2 and ranked somewhere around 15, and a loss the week before @VT could have them all riled up. O-line and D-line better eat their wheaties before that game!

Since we are double digit favorites in EVERY game, I'm going to see this as a 3-4 TD victory. By the time we get to BC, this team will be rolling!!!

It's certainly not the coots. I feel A&M will be our toughest game, followed by FSU, then BC.

@ FSU is easily the hardest

They finally have a coach to play for. They're the only team we play that is just as talented. We're at their place. It's been down to the wire the past 2 seasons. That game will be a lot closer than most of you think.
BC will be a cake walk compared to FSU. The talent gap is huge and it's not a trap game.

It will take him a year or two. They proved last year that a talent gap can still have you begging to reschedule a cupcake game you missed just so you can be freaking bowl eligible.
For the record, I think FSU is easily the second toughest game and I think they'll be better than last year. But BC has already knows Adazio's system, they're tougher in the trenches and AJ Dillon might be the best player in the ACC.

I almost think BC will beat VT this year. I am surrounded by VT fans and my wife works at VT. They have no depth on DL, no returning experience at LB and only 2 DB's with any experience (neither one a starter last year). My non-delusional friends think they will have trouble stopping other teams, especially AJ Dillon.

I think it will be one of the tougher games but they don't have the skill talent to hang with us. I think our toughest game is FSU. I may be wrong but their defense and OL can only get better from last year. Probably the most talented team on our schedule.

Our Hardest game this year will be at Wake Heyyy at least I added my 2 cents worth, and it's just as good of a guess as any others bc Wake can be a long sharp thorn at times!!!

That's easy to say but that "most talented team" had to reschedule a cupcake just to become bowl eligible. BC didn't have to do that. Not to mention BC beat FSU 35-3!
All that was last year and I think both teams will be better, but FSU has a new system to learn and BC has the returning starter advantage 17 to 12, including 10 of 11 on offense.

Right now our toughest game is Furman
then once we get past them then our toughest game is Tex A&M
then so on down the schedule.
We need not look ahead of anyone otherwise it will be all for naught.
One game at a time

Disagree somewhat

Of course we need to focus on the next game and not solely look ahead. That is a basic of Coaching 101. That said, this team is different. IMO, Dabo also needs to be focusing on developing this team to be the best it can be with the most available weapons for games 13, 14, and 15. No putting the offense in neutral for the second team reps. No "just survive and advance" mentality. Furman is not our toughest game right now. Texas AM is. Furman is another good opportunity to develop and maximize the amazing talent on this team on the road to the CFP.

Because they play the games. We don't do **** on the field for Clemson so we can talk about whatever we want lol.
It's the offseason; I'm board. Spotting the ball is close but not here yet.

I think its FSU, BC, TAM.

All away.
Agree with others.. FSU has the talent, a rowdy home crowd, a new good coach, and an eye on payback.
BC is legit. They gave us all we wanted for 3q in Clemson last year. Playing in Boston in Nov will give them a solid home field adv.. but if the weather is bad, so will be the attendance. Other thing against BC is they'll be in the midst of VT, Clem, Miami, FSU in some order. Thats tough.
TexAM.. i think BC would take them. Seriously. Hecj, NCSt will prob have a better offense than TAM does. If this game were at home, I wouldn't even sweat it. Its the away game aspect. Dabo knows how to gameplan for Jimbo. Tigers will get it done.

Agree that BC is a good team but when considering the matchup I’m not as worried. There strength is obviously AJ Dillon and their Oline, however rumor has it we are pretty good against the run. Also their TE Sweeney is a very good player but we have a freak in Simmons who should shawdow him.
I think FSU will give us our toughest game bc if the HUNH offense Taggart runs. We have had issues going against that offense ( see Syracuse) and FSU has better quality of athlete.
Not worried about A&M. They had a horrendous Oline last year and return most of the terrible pieces of said line. Our Dline will eat all night that game.

They may be a solid team but our talent is way to much for them. FSU and A&M will be the toughest challenge for sure. USuck, NCST, BC, and UL grouped in the next. Maybe throw WF in there.

Our hardest games are at GT and NCSU, then TAM, BC, and FSU.
You guys are just not thinking this thing thru. GT will win the Coastal, and we will have to beat them twice this year.
