So now 25% of the regular season has been completed..

1. Which team poses the greatest threat in the regular season? (Please save the next team up and only Clemson can beat Clemson answers)
2. Who do you think we get out of the Coastal? Do they have a chance against the Tigers assuming reasonable health of the team?
3. Who poses the greatest risk in the playoffs, national championship?
My thoughts:
1. I was thinking BC or WF, but both are home games. NCSt and Scar are on the road. They looked decent against Bama yest, just bad playcalling and the game got away. I think the rivalry, away game, talent.. its Scar.
2. UVA, and no chance
3. OK and UGA both seem a to have elevated their game, and Bama, though still dominant, seems to be missing something. Easy answer here is Bama, but maybe it's actually UGA this go around.
What say ye?

25% for some teams. Not Clemson.

3. Bama didn’t look all that good yesterday and Tua seemed easily rattled. Yeah, they crushed coots, but they suck. Maybe they just didn’t want to show anything to LSU yet.

Tua had the best game of his career and arguably the best game by a qb in Bama history. 444 yards wiith 5tds and no interceptions.

1. Wake - I think they'll be a top 25 team by the time we play them, but we will still win by 24+.
2. UVA probably wins the coastal with 9 or 10 wins. We will destroy them in the ACC Championship.
3. LSU - UGA & Bama didn't look like world beaters in their games against P5 competition.

1. Don’t sleep on UNC, they may be a tough game especially since our offense Isn’t playing well.
2. I’m sure one of the mighty dwarfs will rise to the top probably UVA or UNC.
3. Again, at this point anyone of 6 teams would smoke us as we are playing now. UGA, OKLA, OHIO, LSU! Alabama, ND.
4. I think this year will be the year we’re out of the mix. There’s always next year. Maybe without all the hype and lowered expectation TL can have an awesome junior year.

Otherwise I might suggest that college football, and Clemson football in particular, might just not be for you. If you can write us out of any game ("such and such would smoke us") or say our season is over ("this is the year we're out of the mix") when we are 3-0 and RANKED #1 then there is, quite simply, no pleasing you.
You sound like a spoiled child.

Out of the mix? You think they will leave out a 13-0 ACC Champion and defending National Champion on a 28 game winning streak?
Really?

For #1 a tie between Wake and Scar. I think both will get

better, especially scar with an new qb getting his feet wet. Still should win out.
Virginia should come out of the coastal, but will be another whooping for us in CLT.
In the playoffs I think it will be the team from Big 10 (Wisconsin or O310), OK from Big 12, and the top of the heap from the SEC (GA, LSU, AL). OK may be the biggest challenge, followed by SEC then Big 10.

1. Which team poses the greatest threat in the regular season?
NC State. Looked bad against WVU, but they're a different team at home.
2. Who do you think we get out of the Coastal? Do they have a chance against the Tigers assuming reasonable health of the team?
Virginia. No.
3. Who poses the greatest risk in the playoffs, national championship?
1. Alabama 2. Ohio State 3. Oklahoma All are offensive-minded teams now following the Clemson model.

1. (and I hate to say) coots. Their season will be over - but they MAY BE playing for a bowl eligibility - plus the rivalry, and ALL they’ll have left to play for is to beat us. OBTW: we’ll still beat them; but it will be our toughest REG season game
2. UVA
3. Bama or Oklahoma based on their performance(s) thus far; however UGA MIGHT be a long shot to supplant Bama this year.

FSU and State
Sep 15, 2019, 4:03 PM
|

FSU has as much talent, just bad coaching. State missed a short FG to beat us three years ago and played us close two years ago.
Scratch FSU we will beat them to a pulp. State is the only team with a prayer.

1) Does this include ACCG? If so I'm saying Virginia, if not i think it's pretty clearly South Carolina, as ridiculous as that may sound.
2) Virginia
3) Bama, as always. Saban will have the defense fixed by Dec/Jan

1: NC State - sure they aren't very good but that is about as good as it gets. Dang, the rest of the ACC is 0-10 against AP top 25 2: Duke or Virginia... dang, that is going to be comical. 3: Oklahoma

Boo on you for reminding me that a quarter of the season is already gone. We wait so long for the football season to come back, and then it's seemingly gone in a flash. We should lobby for a 16 game regular season like the pros.
The only problem with that is that the SEC teams would be so tired by then, they would have to forfeit any postseason games due to not being able to field a team.
