This is something that needs to be said and I hope it strikes as true...

with my Clemson sisters and brothers as it did with me.

The ACC has always had an automatic bid for the playoff and still does.

Knowing that Dabo has often used regular season games to teach younger players and substituted early and often, much more in the past than this season. Even now when the game is under control Dabo subs heavily, early and often. The reasons for that are obvious and I won't insult others by repeating them.

There are no divisions in the ACC now. Couple that with our loss to UGA and the situation of Miami and SMU being undefeated and it's obvious, if we lose another game we will not get that automatic bid. Y'all know that.

Dabo continues to do all possible within these restrictions to train our younger players and keep our starters health by keeping them on the bench but his comfort zone is different this season than in previous seasons. He is not a gambler.

I insist that there is no competition for us on our schedule and that Clemson will dominate all the way to the ACCCG. Dabo know his ultimate goal is on the line each and every game. That's not to say that if we lose a game along the line that we will miss the playoff. I'm saying that if we lose a game we won't control our destiny.

I predict blowouts for Clemson until the post season and I believe SMU and Miami are not real competition for Clemson.
