Nice summer fodder, but let's wait until after we beat South Carolina to dream about a National Championship. I do believe Dabo, Morris,Venables and their team can take us there.

It's not South Carolina I'm worried about,not even FSU because even if you win both of those,there are too many other games that Clemson has to win; The opener at UGA.Both teams will be untested on offense,but we only won by 3 at home in 2013. A trip to Ga.Tech.Atlanta has not been kind. A trip to B.C.Definitly a trap game. A thursday niter,any Thursday niter. A home game against a team many think can win the Coastal ,ie the tarholes. Just my opinion,Clemson can finish no worse than 11-1 regular season,and win the ACCCG to have a legimate shot.

Clemson has become a team that has been solid for the past 3 years, and the coaching staff has had solid recruiting classes. And I think that we have become a solid enough team that we no longer worry about phantom trap games. The trap game term is for schools like BC, GT, NCST, UNCheat, that don't have a clue what to expect from their teams from one week to the other. We are Clemson, we expect to win, and we set schools up to be trapped with a solid game plan that wins games that we expect to win.

True for the most part,but certain schools,namely the Tech's,or Tarholes pride themselves on circling Clemson on the calender. While I agree that as Clemson we expect to win,teams with equal talent,or a chip to grind can,and sometimes do develpoe solid game plans which can pull the upset. But whether you consider it an upset ,or not,any loss will more than hurt Clemson's chances,especially if it's not the noles or the coots.

This year defense will make life easier for this year offense. They will put up a few points on the board themselves. The experience and depth will dominate, create opportunities, and surprise many opponents this season. They will be a joy watch. Just likes the old days. Defensive wins ball games, the Offense makes you look good.

So they think we're likely to win @FSU? Don't think so.***

Losing only 1 game may not exclude us anyway...how many undefeated teams are there typically, do the math. SOS will help us for sure! & IF Free Seafood University beats us, they're the incumbent natty champs...not that terrible (except it sux to lose to criminoles!)

2 ACC teams in 4-team playoff? Don't think so.

Unless MAYBE we barely lose to FSU, and then both Clemson and FSU goes on to beat everyone else on the schedule and Clemson goes on to CRUSH everyone else on the schedule, and UGA & SCAR end up being highly ranked. It's just not very likely.

Not Claiming That! Clemson has played very good ball down in Tallie. That without Sammy a couple of year ago. If we'll up 2TDs at the half this year. Mark My Word, This Defense will turn it up Two Notches and probably seal the game with a big time play or turnover. Our Defense will be hungry and thirsty for revenge. WE'RE BRING THE "TOTAL PACKAGE" THIS YEAR. Playing Hard Nose Clemson Defense of Old.
