Is this dude a moron or what?

Completely ignoring the fact that we're 18th, dude has NORTH CAROLINA ahead of us. This is why preseason rankings either need to be based on the past seasons performance or just be abolished completely.

Of the other 3 team besides the Spurriers to win 11 games the last 2 seasons. What a loser..

Maybe UNC is getting the ol' FSU treatment? Every year since the last ice age ESPN and other outlets have been saying "Oh, this is the year FSU wins the championship! Blah blah blah." Well, it finally came true. Last year UNC got a lot of buzz in the preseason and was billed as a sleeper in the ACC or the Coastal Champ, etc. So if they keep predicting these unrealistic prophecies, one day they will be right and boy won't they look smart?!? Here's my bogus prediction about UNC Football next year: all their players will be literate. Looking forward to the day when I can say that I am right!

UNC Defense is awful***

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We will have a top 10 defense.


Jan 18, 2014, 7:56 AM

And a very efficient offense, as long as we take care of the football we should win almost every game next year. I won't be surprised if the offense looks just as good. We have the talent at WR, all the QBs are good, and RB should be better. Here is the formula for next year, run the ball, control the clock, throw short screen passes and slant routs, take care of the football, play smothering defense= win a lot of games. We will be in the top 10 by the time we play FSU.

Why does everyone worry about an early preseason poll ? I could care less that we are No.11. We went up and down (as did Clemson ) all year long but at the end of it all we were No.4. It's where you finish, not where you start. Top 25...off the radar is a good place to begin. Top 5 is too much early season pressure on a team.

it's a lot easier to climb from #10 to #1, than it it is to


Jan 18, 2014, 9:49 AM

go from #20 to #1. wouldn't you say ?

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

well THAT was a waste of reading & watching time!!!


Jan 18, 2014, 10:13 AM

i wonder how these guys even get paid for stuff like this...i need to rethink my career if it's that easy :)

folks have no idea what Clemson has in store for them next year...but keep on touting OSU & the usual suspects...we beat the H3LL outta OSU actually, up & down the field.

i wish we hadn't had to fight the officials so badly & not given up those INTs. then it'd have been much more obvious without any material for the announcers to boost the Buckeyes up with after every play.

i kinda like Clemson being "underdogs"...but sometimes this all gets outta control ridiculous!

ESecPN = big joke

undefeated is undefeated

20 to 1 is the same as 10 to 1

how many teams went undefeated last yr, though . btw, it


Jan 22, 2014, 6:13 AM

still took a late season loss to put fsu at #1, for that exact reason- where 'bama started.

Jan 18, 2014, 9:51 AM [ in reply to Re: Is this dude a moron or what? ]

Because it puts you behind the 8-ball. For example if a team is a preseason top 10 and only loses 1 game, odds are that they're going to be in the top 5 at the end of the season. The same can't be said for a team that is in the late teens or 20's.

Not to mention there is absolutely no reason for us to be dropped down that far. We've had back to back 11 wins season and back to back to back 10 win seasons. Add in the fact that we've also had a top 15 recruiting class for the past 4 or 5 years and it makes absolutely not sense at all for us to be ranked lower than 15. Especially ranked below a team like UNC that hasn't proven anything.

I honestly think we are top 5. I only see three possible loses on our schedule. I hope we can win all 3 of them.
especially USUC east.

Possible, not probable. I see one probable loss.

I don't get the love for UNC


Jan 22, 2014, 12:24 AM

They lost to every decent team they played, beat up on the cupcakes, beat an overinflated Cincy team that lost to a horrible USF team, and got the brakes beat off of them at home by East Carolina. Fedora has had one magical year where he upset an overrated Houston team and has a losing record to UAB.

That said since the Coastal is such a dumpster fire with both GT and VT in freefall because of their coaching situations I expect UNC to be in the hunt for the division title.
