Good to see that the ACC has more teams ranked than any other conference.

And realizing college teams change every year due to personnel turnover, it makes our schedule look very tough next year. Based on current rankings, next year's opponents include: @Clemson #2, @Notre Dame #4, Georgia #9, North Carolina #13, @Miami #18. We will certainly be underdogs in all of these games. Remaining games out of conference Kennesaw St, Northern Illinois (should be favored in both), Remaining Conference Home Games Boston College, Pitt, VA Tech (maybe favored in 1 or 2), Remaining Conference Away Games Duke, Virginia (maybe favored in 1). So getting to 6 wins will be a challenge.

Congratulations to Duke, for finishing last in the ACC for the 14th time in the last 26 years. A truly amazing level of consistency. If only the ACC media would take this into consideration when they vote for teams like us who never finish last. Even Clemson has finished last more in the last 25 years than we have.

I will never understand why you believe what happened in the 90s has any impact on today's game.

Dank it now I have to do research to see if Mr Duke the mayo kind is the same Mr Duke the University namesake
Click to expand...
nope - James Buchanon Duke is the university guy, same tobacco magnet as Duke Energy. The mayo ( and certainly Duke's mayo is the finest in US history- it ain't a real mater sandwich without Duke's) Eugenia Duke created Duke's Mayonnaise in 1917, in Greenville, South Carolina
here's a photo of the mayo factory(still standing)

Well I guess 2 thoughts:
1) i’m not saying what you’re saying that I’m saying.
2) I continue to be correct in the end, so there’s that.

Maybe someday you can come around to the idea that certain programs just have it in their DNA to be losers. They prove it year after year over decades.

Miami’s 2021 season entirely hinges on whether King stays or not. Their offense will be terrible if he leaves and decent if he stays. Probably worth 3 wins on their O/U by himself. Honestly can’t even remember the last decent QB they developed themselves. Dorsey?

There is no way of knowing what those teams are going to look like next year. They may be better or worse. We will see but Tech has to improve on both sides of the ball to have any hope of winning 5 much less 6 games next year. I am more concerned about getting the portal players squared away in spring practice. This will be the most important off season in quite some time.

That seems about right but based on the two or three games I saw of the U and UNC, I would swap them in this ranking. I don't see why FSU is ranked ahead of us. We beat them and I was never impressed by them in watching their other games but maybe its just me. This conference gets more top heavy by the year. The top tier is clearly Clemson, Notre Dame, Miami and UNC. The rest of them are just cannon fodder.

Brice, who transferred from Clemson last season, just transferred to Appalachian State. Cutcliffe has a reputation as a straight shooter, so i gathered he gave him a lot of encouragement as he didn't help them much this season. And Brice is a kid who just wants to play and has one year left.

look at those teams and the ACC is getting way tougher. The Big 10 is the new ACC.
