[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 952402, member: 282"] Duke, BC, and Syracuse got 1st team selections on offense. BC and Duke both got a defensive lineman on the first team defense. UNC got a LB on the first team despite their overall defense. NC State got two players on the first team defense. BC, VT, and UVA all finished worse than us, but they did better on the all-conference teams. Miami finished with the same record and did much better. Syracuse, Louisville, and NCST all had the same conference record that we had and had more athletes rated higher on that list (not overall—they had better overall records). None of that agrees with the idea that the list is the way it is because of bias—certainly not enough for us to barely appear on the list. We started this particular part of the discussion because of a comment by Phil Steele that indicated we are perceived as lacking talent compared to the rest of the conference. Well, we ARE perceived as lacking talent compared to the rest of the conference—if we weren’t, we’d have at least a bunch of 4th team players. Looking at the list, I don’t think Shipley would be a first-teamer if he weren’t playing for Clemson, but the rest of the list makes a lot of sense. I think LaMiles is underrated. Who do you knock off of those positions for one of our guys from last year? Last year we didn’t have many game-changers. One that we did have—Charlie Thomas—is gone. On offense, Dontae is one of those players, but there are a TON of good RBs out there. [USER=6610]@GetYourBuzzOn[/USER] That second table—if they managed to get accurate counts there—is just gruesome. That’s a ton of blown assignments. [/QUOTE]
