[QUOTE="Techster, post: 359688, member: 360"] IMO, there are 3 teams we play every year that easily "out talent" us before we even step on the field: Clemson, UGA, and Miami. Look at our records against them since CPJ has taken over. Outside of Tommy Bowden's last years at Clemson and Dabo's first few years getting his footing as a HC, our records against the 3 are not pretty. I don't think we've ever gone 3-0 against that group in the same year. Even when we do everything right, our margin for error in those games is still slim. VT has been our biggest "rival" in the Coastal, but it's not like they blow us away talent-wise, though they are starting to pull further away. Our games against them have been very competitive for the most part. They just have one of the best DCs in all of college football. The point is, GT is in the same boat as every other team in the ACC. There are certain teams that are just loaded with talent every year (Clemson, FSU, Miami, possibly Louisville). Unless it's "one of those years" for your team where you have experience and above average talent at certain positions, you're gonna be in an uphill battle with those teams before you step on the field. Sucks, but that's just the reality of the situation...and it's a situation that plays itself out in every conference. There are a few teams with that can just out recruit the rest of the teams in the League. Even if we go 0-3 or 0-4 against those teams, GT can still have a 9+ win season. I've said it for a while, GT can easily be a 9+ win team every year. GT is on par in terms of coaching, talent, and facilities with the vast majority of the ACC. If we take care of the teams we're suppose to take care of, and can pull out a win against one or more of the teams I named above, that's a special 2009/2014 type season for us. [/QUOTE]
