Why is UNC football ranked in top 25?

It only helps Clemson's strength of schedule but I just don't see top 25. I can't wait to pound them at home.

The most ridiculous schedule they have . . .

is their class schedule, because they won't be attending!

Re: strength of schedule? tougher than C.U.

What about the common sense method? Clemson is the reason is the highest ranked team on the schedule and the only other is ND...and well who knows how they will be after their latest fiasco.

they closed pretty well last year
Aug 18, 2014, 8:33 AM
|

won 6 of the last 7 (and would have won all 7 if not for a foolish choke against Dook)
ended up 6-6 in the regular season, but could easily have been 8-4 or even 9-3

"Could easily have been"

What?
We can play this game all day.
If Clemson had outscored their opponents in every game in their history, then we'd have no losses all-time.
6-6, dude. Hat's off for them salvaging their season, but let's go with facts rather than what-ifs.

and they were better than VaTech

They lost to the 6 teams that were better than them and beat the 6 teams they were better than, it just so happened the schedule was "front-loaded."
It is a good sign for the ACC that a middle of the pack - at best - team is given the benefit of the doubt and ranked. I'd bet my house that we beat them by three td's.
After the last game in 2011 I had a tarhole family member say to me "penalties and turnovers" when we walked back to our car. If you recall we pulled Boyd and most of our starters in the 3rd quarter when we were up 59-24, but somehow to this guy this game was two evenly matched teams, and it was just real bad luck and officiating that cost the tarholes the game. Unreal.

not exactly

IMO they lost to 2 teams - Dook and VaTech - that weren't better teams
2011? i remember a close game for the first half.
the difference in Tiger talent came through in the 3rd Q.
Tajh threw a TD with less than 2:00 to go in the 3rd, so i don't think it's fair to say they were pulled in the third, after the 3rd, sure
but your 'penalties and turnovers' strikes home.
Fedora's teams seem a bit sloppy and somewhat undisciplined to me.
way too many costly penalties last year (a really stupid one pretty much lost the Dook game)

Duke was clearly a better team. I actually watched some of that game and they were the better team to any objective, informed college football fan. I don't think I saw much or any of the VT game, but I also saw the NCSU game and I thought State was the better team but shot themselves in the foot and pretty much gave the game away. Same could be said for Pitt. I'm pretty sure your Holes got beat statistically but still won those two. Good for them. But obviously somewhere theres a homer Pitt or NCSU fan much like yourself that think they shoulda, coulda, woulda beat the tarholes. Usually works both ways.

"beat statistically" ?? that's a good one
Aug 18, 2014, 4:25 PM

guess what, Cincy "beat" UNC "statistically" in a bowl game they lost by 22 points
the only stat that matters is the final score.
"objective" and "college football fan" can rarely be used to describe the same person.
i'll just take "objective, informed" for what it usually really means on fan discussion boards "anyone who agrees with me" : )

Because they've been 100% free of their school burdens and

have thus been able to spend all of their time on football.

Because they are one of the top 25 teams in 2014 based upon talent, coaching and schedule.
