I think we're 10-2 this season...

I'm classified as a dumper on here. I guess I consider myself more of a realist, but that's everyone on this board rather they be a pumper or dumper.
Anyways, I see us beating SCST (shocker right!), then losing at FSU. After that we host UNC, the most crucial game of the season IMO. I say that because losing to UGA and FSU was and is likely. If you thought we were going 13-0 with a playoff appearance than you were outside of your mind. At 1-2, we'll host a UNC team with a solid offense. Are we better? I think so. However, will we care to play after being 1-2 and coming in with players who had dreams of being 3-0? That to me will be the tell tale sign as to whether or not we're 10-2 or 7-5 and that's why I think the game is the most important of the season.
UNC is still a month away and the best talent on our offense is very young. I look for them to be getting more, if not the bulk of the snaps by then. I can see this offense really improving as the year goes on.
Beat UNC and it'll springboard us to beating Louisville, at GT (where we really struggle), and USuC. Lose to UNC, and I see us losing 2 of those 3, if not all 3.
I hope this team can be mentally tough enoough to handle 1-2 and take care of business the rest of the way out. If they cant handle it, then 1-2 turns into 1-3 and then we spiral down.
Our defense looked bad the last 15mins of UGA, but we'll match up nicely against everyone else outside of FSU (and maybe even them). I can see this defense giving up 14 or less to almost everyone else on our schedule IF the offense can supply some help.

That was after the LSU bowl win, and he was referring to the quality of the opponent that Clemson had beaten, not to his own team. If you took time to listen to the entire exchange, then that would be clear to you.
Also, could you try showing some class?
I know the answer is probably no, but I figured I'd ask.

Best case we go 8-4 and worst case we go 6-6. So we probably finish this year 7-5. We seat what Morris is now that he does not have Nuke, Hot Rod, Allen, Sammy, Ellington, Bryant, Boyd and Cat Man to bail us out with automatic points. We obviously lose to FSU. Louisville and the chickens have better head coaches and very good talent. (not saying we cannot win, it is just unlikely) We still have to play a very talented UNC team and go on the road against GT. Grant Field is not a place that has been kind to us lately. The special teams play continues to give us problems. This past week it was not covering a kick and the stupidity of not lining the ball up in the middle of the field. (Cat man was good enough it did not matter.) But those are mistakes we made in 2009 and 2010 that cost us games. I would love to go 10-2 or even 9-3. But let's face facts. This team was depleted with offensive weapons, we have a coaching staff that has a systematic problem never addressed since 2008 (special teams) a defense that gave up last week and showed no pride. And yes for three quarters we had a chance. but that does not really matter.

I agree that the offense if depleted of weapons at this point. But we have some really good young talent that I think will work itself into the starting lineup. Plus we'll get out TE healthy who is a heck of a run blocker. I can see us steadily improving on offense this year.

I had us at 8-4 to 11-1, but 11-1 required us beating UGA. Since we showed a serious lack of consistency at UGA, I'll change that to 7-5 to 10-2.
We could lose to FSU, UL, UNC, and USUC. We will probably lose to FSU. I don't see how we win there with what we have shown.
