[QUOTE="Sideways, post: 320720, member: 2451"] OK, I will play devil's advocate on this. Tennessee has talent coming out of their ears. Trust me. Last year they got hit hard by injuries so we will see. Thank God we are playing them this year and not last year at the beginning of the year. They ran Virginia Tech right out of the stadium in that first game. UNC Regardless of who the coach is, or the system, they always have talent. Of course, they just about always underachieve so there is that. More than just about anyone, their fate will be about replacing the quarterback. Duke Cutliffe will have them ready to play just wait and see. Clemson Tremendous losses on both sides of the ball to be sure. So? They just reload. Clemson is a honest to goodness factory now just like UGA, Alabama, etc. Miami Will always give us fits. Just the way it is. Always athletic on defense just not quite as much elite talent as in the old days but still a good team VT As long as Bud Foster is on that other sideline they will present problems. Like UNC, Clemson, and Tennessee they suffered significant losses on both sides of the ball but especially on offense. UVA OK I will give you that one Wake Forest 6 wins for Wake is a whole lot better than they were a few years ago. One of the most improved teams in the ACC. This one may be harder than it looks. Pitt Again, lots of attrition on offense especially. Seems to be on the upswing. We should have beaten them last year but for that fluke play. UGA Always talented Probably not as good as 2011 or 2012 but still consider this. How many of our starters would start for them? Try to be candid in your assessment. Not that many I would wager even taking into account the differing systems on offense. A few years ago one of our players frankly admitted that we had only one or two that would start for UGA. Now I would think it is definitely more but they are still the standard. I would rather have several of our offensive linemen than what they have and I would rather have Mills than anyone they have. To be sure, we can largely minimize the talent differential with our offense but it is tough to beat them. Even in years that they have beaten us pretty good like 2011 we moved the ball on them. It is really remarkable how no matter how talented they are on defense we always find a way to move the ball. I still think they may rue the day they got involved with Kirby but we will see. [/QUOTE]
