I wonder if this is the top 25 we can expect to see in the new NCAA 14 game?

Clemson is #9 in NCAA14

Louisville at #4 is a joke


Apr 29, 2013, 5:25 PM

They beat an overrated Florida team and everybody forgets about loses to SYRACUSE AND UCONN? They might go undefeated based off that easy schedule but there's not way they deserve to be anywhere near the title game

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Depends if it's a team ranking or prediction of AP's ranking


Apr 29, 2013, 9:23 PM

For example, if I remember correctly, Phil Steele's pre-season ranking is a projection of the major poll's (AP, Coaches') rankings. So if Phil thinks that the team is the 15th best team but they're likely to go undefeated because they play a weak schedule, Phil might rank them 3rd to project the silly way that the pollsters will vote.

It's hard to believe that anybody thinks Louisville will be the 4th best team, but I could easily see Louisville ending up ranked that highly after romping through a cake schedule.

Utah used to romp through a cake MWC schedule, so the silly pollsters rewarded them with perennial Top 25 rankings due to their stellar W-L record. I don't think Utah suddenly got worse when they joined the tougher Pac-12, but Utah has disappeared from the Top 25 now that they play (and lose under) a tougher schedule.

I am sorry I have had it up to here (as he holds his hands above his head) with the Ohio State Buckeyes getting all this love. they might have played the easiest schedule other than Louisville last year and barely beat some pretty bad teams. If the start the season #1 it would be the biggest joke in the world of jokes. For Clemson to not even be in the top ten is probably the second biggest joke under the one stated above. Everyone said that the defense was the only thing holding the Tigers back and by what they got coming in from the recruiting side and another year experience from the guys already here I see us getting back to the dominant D we here have come accustom too. There hasn't been many years where the D and the offense has been dominate at the same time but I truly believe that this is the year the stars align. Now if they would have said we put the Clemson here as a see and wait type deal stating the progression of the defense for that explanation then I would have no problem but they didn't stat it like that so I do. Before I lay my head down I pray that we make it to the NCG (curb stompping the 2 SEC teams in our way) and that OSU can somehow manage to make it through their soft as tissue schedule unscaved so that we might be able to curb stomp their teeth out for the right to be called the kings of college football for 2013. P.S. I truly can't stand Urban Meyer and Ohio State's non-recruiting so we will just follow Clemson around and offer their guys selves....

you, sir. i like your attitude


Apr 29, 2013, 7:55 PM

i wish there were more on here like you. I don't give credit to the gamecocks no matter what they achieve. i have reasons for that. lattimore's recruitment was fishy, and clowney, well he wanted to come to Clemson and if anyone doesn't believe me, whatever. That's why he waited til signing day to see if he'd qualify. This info came from a Georgia fan who has no care for either the ##### or our program. Those 2 guys have elevated Carolina beyond what they ever should've been. I think we're about to see the cluckers come back to earth this year without lattimore. mike davis scares me as about as much as ladybug landing on my shirt.

Seriously man? Clowney never wanted to go to clemson. My brother is good friends with doo doo. I will also say he doesnt care about sc. He'd go to the nfl right now if he could.

They did pretty well when Lattimore missed significant time the past two seasons. They won't miss him.

Coots at 8 is a joke!


Apr 29, 2013, 7:54 PM

Replacing so much and yet they are #8...Doesn't make sense. I guess they think Doodoo Clowney will win all the games for them.

UGA's D lost 9 starters yet ranked #7? Dubious. Go Tigers!***

Apr 29, 2013, 9:07 PM

And the top ten opens its doors...lose to those mutts and we wont need to worry about any NCG talk no matter what the rest of our season plays out like. That is the reality of the E$ecPN hype machine and opinion monopoly.

I know the " I know his best friend" or "I know a guy who played on his hs football team" information superhighway should trump everyone else and leave you beaming with self pride but it rings hollow...always smells like bs. Anytime I hear this dubious proclaimation I automatically assume it to be false. Clowney would be the only person who could testify to what he had plans for before he found out he was too stupid to get into Clemson. Reminds me of the old addage... What do a Clemson grad and Sackerlina gradhve in common? They both applied to Clemson.

Poll by SEC homer/UGA grad Mark Schlabach is a joke


Apr 30, 2013, 8:58 AM

This guy is a notorious SEC homer. I don't give it ANY credence.

Re: Poll by SEC homer/UGA grad Mark Schlabach is a joke


Apr 30, 2013, 9:21 AM

Forget the SEC/Clemson rankings for a second, but Stanford #5? They lost their starting tailback, their two starting tight ends, I'm sure they lost some defensive starter, and they lost their OC. And Southern Cal? They lost Matt Barkley and Robert Woods from a team that went 7-6 and they start off in the top 25? This poll is a joke for many other reasons aside from the SEC/Clemson rankings.

That's mandatory in the BIG

Check the OOC for all teams not playing Notre Dame. There is nobody else on the whole BIG schedule.

i say 12 is about right for us..


Apr 30, 2013, 10:36 AM

considering the question mark on our defense and having to replace a couple o linemen.id put us at 15 based off of defense alone.the first game will tell the tale.win that one by a decent margin and it will be a great year.lose that one and who knows
