[QUOTE="stylee, post: 348706, member: 882"] brutal. But we have a good squad. What no one likes to talk about is the luck thing. There's probably a big difference between most 3-9 and 9-3 teams. But when we start looking at teams in roughly the same echelon, there are so many caprices that determine whether you're at 7-5 or 9-3. Like, think about fumble recoveries. Good teams fumble less, but good teams don't recover fumbles at any higher of a rate - it's just about where the ball bounces. Same with tipped passes (Pitt last year?). The wind on field goals. Little indeterminacies that don't always quite balance out. This is all just to say, I understand CPJ's resigned, almost fatalistic attitude of "it's never as good or bad as it seems." Based on what I've seen so far this year, we are clearly better than the Pitts and UNC's of the ACC, clearly not as good as Clemson, and probably in the same ballpark as everybody else. If we win, it won't necessarily be because we are better in that game, and if we lose it won't necessarily be because we're worse. The players still need to execute, of course, but they have the talent and the coaches have clearly taught them how to do what they need to do. But, as I think UNC 2017 and GT 2015 teach us....just being healthy is the biggest thing once you're at that point [/QUOTE]
