Canes are Number 10 in newest preseason poll

[dorsey1]

Preseason rankings are meaningless-


It’s been nonsense for years.

Good to see Mario has us firmly in the top 5 for ACC teams. Not many coaches could do that.

IF Hetherman has a Minnesota like impact on D

and

IF a true WR1 emerges to supplement an elite running game.

Then yeah

Huge ifs but not completely implausible

It's not much asking the D to be improved. Question is, will they be improved enough to cover the O's drop off?

Hetherman moved Minnesota 80 spots… crazy shift. If we can slide into the top 20 with the strength of the d backfield, control games with a top running game and move the chains and get splash plays with one of the more experienced and talented QBs in the nation the team can be pretty **** good.

And it would still be outside of a future 16 team playoff

how far we fall with week 1 loss?

I want them undefeated coming into Hard Rock. More likely than not, they’ll lose to LSU before they play us.

All the UF hype is based on (1) Lagway da gawd (who’s stats aren’t anything special; all hype) and (2) improved defense (even though a lot of those guys are gone).

Lagway just had to have surgery because he couldn’t throw all season, so….
