Losing a close game to an unranked Pittsburgh team at home in 2016, or losing a close game to a Top 5 ranked team in the first game of the season. We all know what happened after that 2016 loss...Let's be honest the only 2 teams ahead of us in the CFP rankings this season that matter will be Oklahoma and Ohio State. We only need 1 of those teams to lose to a team that isn't as highly ranked as Georgia and we are in if we run the table in the ACC.
Will be hard to run the table with this O-line. Georgia is

definitely the best team we will play this year, but it may not necessarily take a defense that good to screw with this offensive line. Right now, it is possible that we may not be able to ourscore NC State, Pitt, Boston college or Florida State even if we hold them to 17 points.
I predicted we would score 13 on Georgia because I thought of our traditional early season 0-line play. That never seems to change, no matter the caliber of the opponent. Turns out I over estimated our offense. I didn't take into account that our receivers never seem to be open. And that dates back to last year. Even with Trevor's pasing numbers, he often had to thread a needle, or hit a receiver that was blanketed. Not sure why our receivers rarely achieve separation. AS for running back, Shipply looks promising. I know Dixon was under discipline in the first half, but why didn't we see him as soon as the second half started.
I think the offensive line coaching leaves a lot to be desired, as does the wide receiver coaching, and running backs.
