Why not us? FSU's QB is a serious question. Our whole O is a problem. i dont trust UNC's D any farther than i can throw them. Miami needs to prove they wont quit in the face of adversity like they have done for the past 10 years

If somebody makes the right personnel decisions, we can win the conference.
Putting guys out there to fail over and over isn't working out.
Our quarterbacks need to poop or get off the pot. Short leash. Play the fourth stringer if ya gotta. Tired of mediocrity.

24th? Do these people even watch football? I get the offense is very inconsistent, but we’re gonna have probably one of the best defenses in the country, and I think that alone is worth being near the top 10. If we can just get a little consistency on the offense, this team should be ranked around eight or nine.

He's NOT a fan of Dabo Swinney. He whole-heartedly dislikes DS's stance on NIL and the portal, he straight vilified Clemson during Covid when it came out that a coach repeated the N-word to players at practice - and whether you believe it or not, he had a large hand in pushing Jordan Hancock to decommit from Clemson and recommit to Ohio State.
Like anyone from ESPN who reads from a scripted-teleprompter, I take what he says with a grain of salt.

What's Jordan Hancock done so far as a higher rated recruit? Never heard of him until now.
Hancock had more opportunities to play and develop at Clemson.

Good, I would prefer they didn’t rank the Tigers at all just to really p off every player and coach. Hopefully the disrespect will keep coming. When the dust settles we will see who gets the last laugh. Will it be the Tigers or the naysayers. Spot the d ball and bring it.

trashing Dabo and his roster management. They come across as genuinely upset and personally offended in some way. And as usual, it's all based on 2nd hand info or cherry-picked quotes that they run with. To me it's simply the same lazy mindset that was flying about during Dabo's early dumper days. He's always been an easy target to pile on considering how unique he is in his approach to running a program, and what we're seeing today is nothing different.

The most meaningless ranking of CFB teams is---the "pre-season" ranking.

I honestly don't think Dabo cares about making the playoffs. As long as his morals and beliefs aren't sacrificed he can sleep at night. Sad but true. Everyone talks about how he has done it his way so far and been successful. Truth is he had the best quarterback and receivers on the field during that run. Simple as that. Recruiting won those trophies. Same thing every other championship team has done for years. Nothing special to be honest. Now he's avoiding the portal when there is an obvious hole to fill at QB. Eventually you have to prove that your way is the solution for sustainable success to back up your morals and beliefs. So far his creative way of spinning things hasn't shown results. This year is huge for him and his stability at Clemson.

You do know that DJ was the top rated transfer QB right? So who’s he going to get to fix the qb position? Someone worse than DJ?lol

Clemson lacks the OL to push Georgia around. Shouldn't be worried about anything else right now except pushing the sleds.
