I hope they rank us somewhere outside of the top 15. We play better with a chip on our shoulders.

I’d be okay somewhere between 15 and 20. I honestly don’t think we should be sniffing the top 10 yet. Just my opinion.

On paper we will not be as good as this year which should put us 15-20 IMO. Not drinking the Kool Aid and smoking the Hopeium that some can't let go of. Looking for a win against USC which is less than 50/50 if Rattler comes back. Expect Beamer will hit the portal hard looking for WR's which along with the OL held Rattler back. If he leaves I like our chances. Things sure turned around in a hurry at these two programs.

I’m with you on being ranked 15 to 20. As for the Rattle, I hope he stays. I’d like for the Tiger D to get another shot with him at the helm. Right a wrong. If you know what I mean ?

I'm going to say we start 2023 at about the same ranking as we finish in 2022 so I will say 12-15.

Not real sure with who we have leaving. Need some good personnel news before I can make a guess. Hopefully not higher than we should be. Seem to play better in the underdog role.

How do you arrive at that? Said another way where are we having step change improvements. OL? DL? LB? No, No, and No. Secondary? Likely not. TE? No. WR? Maybe. QB, YES!!!!!! Lots of holes to be filled and true freshman have been significant contributors only on rare occasions. It's going to be a struggle even within the conference.

If you look at the top 25 right now and just say who would we beat. I get to about 14-17

Re: Where should Clemson be ranked to start the season


Jan 4, 2023, 7:54 PM

I'd say about 10-12, but that could change fairly quickly. We're better than many who will get favorable rankings, due mainly because of conference affiliation. Time will tell, though. I just hope we make some pretty significant adjustments to our game plan, and I would be very happy for a different OC, or at least someone to help with the very obvious deficiencies we suffered through this past season.

No one can answer this until after spring ball and maybe until mid august. It really doesn’t matter. Dabo and his staff will be trying to develop the best team in college football! I like our chances as long as everyone stays healthy and the coaches make the right moves. They will. They are Clemson Tigers.

Re: Where should Clemson be ranked to start the season


Jan 4, 2023, 8:03 PM

Perhaps it should be aligned with the rank of our most recent recruiting class.

If our FG misses were TDs and if CK2 had 2 prior starts, we would have beat Tennessee by 40points.
I don't see many other programs that can compete with Clemson.

If you haven't figured it out going to a 12 team playoff if we win the conference we are in the playoffs. If we don't win the conference, but had the best record and got upset in the conference championship game we may still get in. If we get in the playoffs there is a chance to win it all.

That's all I care about.

Yes I know,and yes I have it figured out. I was just throwing out a topic of conversation.

Somewhere around #15, give or take a couple spots.

Depends on how many more players we lose to Portal by fall camp. A couple players I thought were above 50% in staying prior to the bowl game was KJ and BB but our poor performance may have pushed them over the fence. Who knows what comes into play when players make their decisions but if they feel like their coaching may be a hindrance to their future rankings, definitely better to leave now while healthy.

Start at #10. End at #15.

Guessing our Vegas future projected win total will be 10, maybe 10.5.

Hate to say it, but if I can get 10.5 in the preseason, I’m hammering the under.

That is assuming only roster attrition through the portal and no significant talent additions.

Re: Where should Clemson be ranked to start the season


Jan 4, 2023, 9:16 PM

My first impulse is to say between 15-20. That's basically where we belonged this season and we don't have any reason, at this point, to think we are going to be dramatically improved next season. I think we will be initially ranked in the top 10 just based on name recognition however.
