Movin' on up....

And we play the other 4 in the top 5, but we also play the bottom 3.

UVA, BC, GT, Bethune, Temple, and Miami (OH) absolutely MUST be wins. Must, must, must. I think Louisville needs to be in that group too, because the game is at home, but if we lose any of the 6 games I listed, I am going to be beyond concerned with Mario and his staff's ability to coach football.

So the absolute floor is 6 wins. No reason to not go 2-4 at minimum against the other half of the schedule and win 8 games at the absolute least.

7 wins with this schedule would be a tragedy and isn't even remotely acceptable.

I'm surprised FSU is getting so much love over Clemson.

Clemson is +145 at the moment at DK to win the ACC and FSU is +150, so it's basically a toss-up between those 2, but technically Clemson is still favored.

I think some of it has to do with schedule.

Clemson plays Duke on the road, FSU at home, Miami on the road, Wake at home, NC State on the road, and UNC at home. If you took those power rankings as gospel, thats the #'s 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 teams (they're #2).

FSU plays Clemson on the road, Miami at home, Duke at home, Wake on the road, Pitt on the road. They don't play UNC, they don't play NC State. So they only play 2 of the top 5 teams. Clemson plays every one of the Top 6 teams.

Man, I wish people would take a little positivity for what it is and enjoy it without tossing in the always expected negative caveats.

I am positive. But I am also a bit cautious. Like I said, super excited and I think this is our turning point season, but at the same time, I want to see it on the filed. Spring showed us very little as too many key folks were out. I hear all the great things coming from our insiders, but I want to see the product before I dive all in.

Mario has a history of dropping a game he shouldn't. It's more likely we go 5-1 out of those 6 games and still go 3-3 or 4-2 for the remainder.

Literally, I’m not being a dyck vs. sick of the chit #barz

But who cares? Every season we’re hyped, every season we’re projected to win the formally known division as Corstal, every season we have one of the softest schedules to begin the year, & every yr we’re disappointed sans 2017.

Prove it on the field & show us.

Clemson plays Duke at a neutral site, FSU at home, Miami on the road, Wake at home, NC State on the road, and UNC at home. If you took those power rankings as gospel, thats the #'s 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 teams (they're #2).

I think they're just looking at the QB position. FSU's got the Travis coming back as a senior, while Clemson is going with the up and comer sophomore Klubnik who dethroned Uiagalei. Plenty of upside and talent with Klubnik though.
