With FSU, SC, Lville UNC and GT being the harder games left. What will the Tigers record be. I think at best 10-2 and worst case 8-4.

GT is awful. We'll handle them no problem.

The days of close games with them are over. I don't care if it is in ATL. We got their number. UofL concerns me. Another big, fast RB... UGH.

IDK GT at home kinda worries me a bit. But by the time we play them you may be right and they suck.

They don't have the talent they once did.

It's just not there. They've got a great all conference tackle, decent WR (that they'll never use), and a safety. That's it. No pounding ground game. We aren't gonna fall for that. Now, if they can get to the edge they may score twice. That's what jawga found. That's our weakness.

their Miami game was that Miami was awful. UMs OL missed so many blocks I'm surprised that Johnson made it outta that game alive. They contributed a lot to their own a$$ whoopin'.

8-4 is worst case scenario?!
Sep 3, 2014, 12:48 PM

Take off the orange shades. I saw an 8-4 team on Saturday, especially on the offensive side of the ball. A lot of questions on the OLine and at RB & WR. We punted the ball about, what, 10 times?
We're 0-1 today. FSU, UNC, at GT, Louiville, at BC, SCar all loom. Not saying were going to lose all of them, but would not be surprised to see us go 3-3 in those games, which would put us at 8-4.
IMHO, 9-3 is best case, 7-5 is worst case.

FSU and Lville could very well beat us but the rest including SC will go down.

I had to listen on the radio. But we either scored or punted. Our third down conversions were like 2/13. Which is strange for a team that scored 39 points. But any win in ATL is a good win.

I will have lost 17 pounds of water weight.
Therefore, we will be 1-1 and I will be slenderererer

That sounds about right..Not saying we can't beat FSU, because I think we can and hope we do, but I feel theres' about an 80% chance we lose that game...There's also about a 75% chance we take one loss among UNC, Louisville, BC & GT.. So basically, I think it's likely we go into the SC game at 8-3. If we were to play the yard-birds this week I think we win that game by a touchdown. At this point 9-3 and a Peach Bowl bid against Florida is my prediction.

So you think CU & UF are going to equivalent of a BCS Game?

You realize that the Peach Bowl is no longer ACC-vs-SEC. It is part of the 6 Bowl Playoff rotation. Even in years it does not host a playoff game the teams are still assigned by the playoff committee.
A 9-3 Clemson Team is extremely unlikely. Florida is even more unlikely.
Top bowl for the ACC outside of the Orange is the bowl in Orlando (Not the Citrus one).

Was thinking we still had the Peach...All the bowl tie-in arrangements are a bit confusing at this point.
So you think we lose two games among Louisville, UNC, NC ST, GT & BC?
As for UF...I think they're going to surprise some folks how much better they are this year than what they were last year.

In the ACC, only FSU looms large. No other team in the entire conference has the talent to compete. 7-1 in conference, 9-2 overall heading into the rivalry game. ACC just does not have any thunder after CU and FSU, but if there was a team out there that could Spring a proverbial upset over the big two, it would be Louisville, that Petrino dude knows a thing or two about coaching in spite of his flaws.

8-4 or 9-3
Assuming a loss in Tallahassee, we'd have to win nine straight games to go better than 9-3. That's not very likely with a team playing as many young guys as we are.
I think we get SC this year, but drop a game somewhere else, perhaps somewhere unexpected.

Gotta watch Louisville closely and be ready, they have the whiff of a spoiler about them. NC and GT are both helpless vs. Clemson this season if the D plays to expectations. GT's glory days under Johnson seem a distant memory, he got fat, lazy and dumb. No way to go through life.
