Phil Steele left Canes out of his preseason Top 25

[canecrazy23]

10000%. But nobody was saying that in July 2022. We had a superstar staff, remember??

Now watch Steele shove my foot in my mouth and have that Bama D top 5.

Clemson at 2 is putting a lot of faith in their quarterback

 

[KANE]

I honestly don’t gaf about being ranked right now. We’re coming off of a 5-7 campaign, where we looked like a bad G5 team. I wanna be ranked at the end of the season.

 

[hoops156]

Yeah, unfortunately outside of 2016, 17, a lot of prognosticators & betting forums have been very bullish on us year after, & we’ve made them look foolish year after year. Phil has been bullish on us often. ****, last yr coming off a 7-5 season from 2021, The AP had us at 16!!! We were 13th going in to the A&M game, & of course we know what happened thereafter.

It’s time for us to earn our keep. We’ve been hypebeast champion every season.

Steele wasn't wrong and youre not either.

hes supposed to be the next great. they were also still good last year even in a down year for them w their worst QB since pre boyd

 

[Hegemon]

Very possible, but contingent on beating A&M in Week 2. 4-1 won’t be enough.

obviously....

By game 6 with that easy start the kids should be gelling.

 

[RVACane]

Tell me why.

We have a potential top 10 QB and a strong RB room. An OL that should be miles improved and an innovative offensive minded OC. An agressive DC that had a Marshall D at or near the top in many categories.

They have nobody at QB and a very average D.


OK I guess I see why they're ranked ahead.

I think their defense will be better than you think (and as an aside, they’re recruiting that area well at DB and LB going forward.). Their OL, QB & TE rooms are dreadful.

College football rankings: Phil Steele’s preseason top 25

No. 2 is quite the surprise!

sports.yahoo.com

In the list: ACC teams include Clemson (#2), FSU (#8), UNC (#21) and Pitt (#23). G5 teams include Toledo (#22) and UTSA (#24).

 

[hoops156]

Nobody national cares about what you wrote (but I agree with it completely). I firmly believe we'll be a lot better and I have a sneaking suspicion they stink out loud this year. But we had a Top 10 QB last year with a young, up and coming OC, a veteran DC, a strong RB room (who all got injured instantly), etc. etc. The team was a puddle of diarrhea who was somehow WORSE than its 5-7 record. Significantly worse. So this year, prove it. He already moved us up 40 spots from #72 to end last season to #32.

you are correct. i wouldnt even say up and coming. Gattis was the best assistant in the country the year before and no one on the staff looked like they coached any football at any pooint in their lives.

They gave up

26 to Utah
28 to S. FL
38 to Tenn
45 to LSU
42 to UGA
31 to Vandy
45 to FSU
30 to Oregon State


I actually think they will be worse this year.

 

[The U is back to work]

No clue why someone would expect us to be ranked lol

 

[Awizonme]

GOOD

Yes sir, and looking forward to when we do! (Earn AND Keep also)

 

[RightSaidFred]

FSU is laughably overrated and they will crash hard. No chance that team finishes top 10. I think we beat them easily this year.

How many of those offenses are worse than ours?

 

[canecrazy23]

Are you kidding. There were more than a 100 offenses better than ours last year but we're talking about the Gayturds Defense here.

Absolutely on target until we prove we can rectify the dumpster fire that was 2022.

Brother we lost by 42 last year and are three-score dogs as of right now, absolutely not beating them easily lol.
