Please, by all means, tell me where I said that

My exact quote was "It think it speaks volumes to our mental discipline that we can continue to beat these teams by double digits without slipping along the way because we get too cocky or lazy."

I never said anything about Florida State or South Carolina. I was saying that it's impressive to be able to beat every lesser team you play by double digits without messing up along the way. The arguement a lot of people make is that playing in a conference with a lot of less teams causes you to sometimes not play to your standard because you're not focused. However, Clemson stayed focused and beat them all by double digits. On the flip side, Stanford lost to 2 unranked teams (Utah and USC), Oregon lost to 1 (Arizona), South Carolina lost to 1 (Tennessee) and struggled against others, Ohio State struggled against a few (namely Michigan), Oklahoma State lost to 1 (West Virginia), and the list goes on. Yet Clemson continued to dominate.

And like I said before, if the ACC was so bad why does no one other than Clemson and Florida State consistently win 10 games each year? Like I said, no matter how bad the conference looks it still takes a good team to win 10 games. No matter who it is.

#1....DEFENSE.
if guys like Beasley, Crawford, and Anthony return. This could be the best defense we have had in 10 years. I expect the secondary to be a lot better, and that in turn will help the entire defense. Our corners will be young, but a lot more talented. I can see a top 20 defense here in 2014. Defense alone is enough for HUGE optimism.

#2....RUNNING GAME.
Mcdowell did a good job. especially since he had little support after that.But the backs next year should be a lot better lead by Tyhson Dye, JJ McCollough (who I think could surprise some ppl) Wayne Gallman and new comer, Adam Choice. Those are all big physical backs built for a strong running game-which we'll need in 014.

#3....QUARTERBACK.
I'm not saying who ever our QB is in 2014 will have a better year than Boyd did this past year. But ya gotta admit, Kelly and Watson "ARE" made for this offense. And BTW...don't feel too sorry for our receivers next year. Peake,Humphries and Williams should lead a talented group that will do just fine in 2014 ( along with Scott/Kitt/Priester)

So sure, may NOT will 10 games in 2014....but we sure could.

Sorry 4 typos-ugh.

Discounting SC State and the Citadel, we beat 4 teams

If this was 2001-2008...

That is unknown and unknowable. The fact is, this year

Out of the 125 FBS teams, how many can make that same claim?

I have seem some rationalizations, but this takes the cake

Re: Please, by all means, tell me where I said that

It's not our fault who we play and how those teams fare.

Sorta hard to play teams not on your schedule ... so you

Oh yes

I don't want any false choices. I want the Tigers to be

ESPN brought back the ACC wheel of destiny this season
