We’ll flirt with the top ten in five years or less. I have that feeling.

I can buy that with the recruiting class he is pulling in, keep that up and pay the stars enough to stay here and we will get there quickly

UNC and Pitt have gotten close to top 10 in the past 5 years.
UNC peaked at 13th last year, 10th the year before, and 5th the year before that.
In the same span, Pitt was 17th, 13th, and 21st.
One good year, and they’re top 10 teams.

Agree - UNC is to the ACC as the U of Texas is to Old SWC. No matter what they think they are better due to class. They are on a great qb run, but have had poor defense. They have lots of acc schools nesr them and that competition will be a long term drag on that group.

I like the grit of Pitt. Aaron Daniels of Pitt started the CHAMPIONSHIP FUND w $10million donation. They are going to regress.

If we didnt have the guant debt and if we got with it on a championship - we could regularly be in top 20-30 and get in top 10 occasionally = a great program, great city, great recruiting.

Regress or progress?

I want to like this, but 10 years is too long to be absent.

Imagine, UVA was number 1 in the country in mid fall of 1990. Undefeated, untied, perfectly balanced attack. They had everything in front of them with an excellent offensive line, a great quarterback, tremendous receivers and a fine running back. The defense was considered to be pretty good though not top shelf then Shawn Jones and company exposed them with a fourth quarter comeback for the ages. It all went tumbling down with four, I think, more losses including the bowl game. It can happen just that fast.

Anybody think one of those teams will finish top 10 in NEXT 10 years? Not trying to be a jerk... the current landscape makes top 10 pretty hard for that list.

I suppose Miami has best shot based on funding/NIL but they still need to get much better.

Miami is Miami. Always talented, always the bridesmaid, never the bride. It has been twenty years since Miami was on top of the college football world. 2003 seems like a long time ago. It may take Mario a while but we will see. Miami's last three losses last year were to FSU, Clemson, and Pitt. They gave up about 40 points a game in each loss and collectively only scored 29.

Bullsh!t. Brent Key is definitely top 10...and the other guys in the top 10 would be lucky to survive with Key.

Ridiculous. These guys are not boxing and they sure are not playing. Bobby Dodd was the antithesis of what most people thought a football coach should look like but he was the one coach that Bear Bryant feared looking across the sideline. He once told an assistant coach: "We would have it made...if it were not for that damn Dodd."

I think they lost at least one KEY player after our game,Never we the same.

I think you are correct but can't remember who it was. ACC teams from that era usually had good players but if they lost a key player it was tough to come back.

Shawn Moore was injured. Pretty big loss.

We still let the French beat us much too often. But I must say, we absolutely destroyed their dream of becoming a National Champion. I guess we have that going for us.

I thought it was Herman Moore (the receiver) that got hurt. Go figure. Memories are fickle that way.

Without a doubt oneof the great wins in Tech history. (and close to the top as it led to a Natty).
