First Clemson couldn't beat Ugay...

now it's Free Shoes Ewe or USuCk. I expect when we win out and Ugay knocks Bama off that perch where they've setup housekeeping they'll probably move Ugay above us again.

What does that mean?
Oct 6, 2013, 1:36 PM
|
|
that we went undefeated and left out of the NC?
that we beat FSU,and lost another ACC game?
That FSU losses 2 ACC games?
That our only loss is to the Coots?

they're projecting Clemson to win the ACC, but not make it to the NC game. No more, no less.

Sorry, Prime.

I was overwhelmed with frustration at being the undefeated team that's actually played somebody this season and still being underestimated. It was nothing more than a brainfart.

Same prediction, different week. Is this just a prediction

of the bowls the ACC has signed onto? In other words, once we beat FSU and look more likely to go undefeated, wouldn't we end up not projected for one of those bowls? Maybe those two would just keep putting us in the Orange until it might be confirmed we are in the top 2 BCS. Dunno.

If we win the ACC and don't make it to the NC game..

we're going to the Orange Bowl. ESPN is gonna project whichever 2 teams they currently have ranked #1 and #2 to the championship game, naturally.

3 or 4 undefeated teams in the top 4, squeezing out 1 or 2 of us. But my gut says Oregon has the best chance to loose one. They've got to beat 3 ranked teams still this season. One is Stanford. Bama has the easiest schedule and just have to get by UGA (surely not FL or SCar?). Both have much worse defenses than last year, so it's a tough call.
OhioSt has the less worrisome schedule, so they are the wild card at knocking us out of NC.
So if Oregon looses one and we go undefeated.....fingers crossed.

You're forgetting that Bama still has to play LSU as well. LSU will give them fits, as good or better D than VTech with a helluva lot better O this season. I look for LSU to win this game.

After seeing the LSU UGA scoring bonanza

I'm guessing Bama can outscore LSU. Both UGA and LSU only punted twice. So, I'm not convinced of how brutal LSU might be at stopping Bama. It's a tough call though, because Bama seems to still be struggling to get better play out of their D.

I'm not sure that Bama's O can get it done versus a quality D... They didn't against VT, most of those points came from special teams. The points they put up on TAMU, well, their D is little more than window screening...

Well, I'll certainly take your prediction over mine...

...an earlier loss by Bama only helps us.
