I hate to say it, but the polls are sleeping on UNC

The only real difference between Clemson and UNC at this point is our pedigree.

Maybe, their defense is getting better[?], but UNC has not

been a complete team from what I've seen.
Reminds me more of some of the old Tejas Tech teams that lost more big games than they won, because defense matters.

The Clemson offense that I have watched this year cannot out score the Heels offense! There will have to be significant improvement in the offensive game before we go into Charlotte to play the Heels for The title. DJ must show ALL that talent that he had when Dabo recruited him. Except for that very first game in South Bend TWO years ago... it hasn’t shown up!

They also have a very talented freshman QB that is playing.

Clemson will give them a steady dose of Shipley, Mafah and Pace. Their gunslinger Quarterback won’t be on the field long enough to bring them back

A lot of their wins have been more unimpressive than ours, and I’m talking point differentials.

Their defense is not good

nor is their SOS and FPI.
The polls are spot on.

I agree. I’ll take off my blue glasses and be honest. We’ve played a very easy schedule and we have statistically one the the worst defenses in college football. The #13 ranking is plenty high enough and likely too high.

UNC is basically a slightly slightly better version of Wake Forest. Clemson will win that game.

We should just steal ND’s game plan and run it versus opponents.

Plus, our 2nd (by far) best receiver, Antoine Green, and our best TE, Bryson Nesbit were injured in the Wake game and did not return. The fear is that they’ve re injured previous injuries and are out for the season. The offense did not move as well without them.
Having said that, Drake is a tour de force and I wouldn’t bet against him.

So, add both top running backs gone for the season and 4 defensive starters gone for the year and I think the Heels are a cooked goose.

UNC defense isn’t that good. They couldn’t stop the run. We have to get after Drake and cover #11.
