Yeah, I think you got to go Jeanty. He will finish the year off carrying his team to the CFP with one of the greatest rushing seasons of all time.

It’s still amazing that 12 year olds playing Madden can manage a clock so much better than so many NFL coaches. I get there is an in the moment factor but still….it doesn’t excuse how badly so many do it. literally just hire a clock management coach to be there to fixate on those things. If he says call a timeout, call a time out. I mean they can hire data guys, breathing instructors, get back coaches, and everything under the sun.

We’ll agree to disagree. Maybe change my wording to better roster would have been more accurate. Gamecocks have some nice defensive players….but they are also thinner than Clemson all around. it’s at Clemson. Dabo. Better overall roster. And they are favored slightly….which essentially supports my prior post that either could win but if you had to pick without a dog in the race Clemson is the smarter pick. straight up vs Carolina? I trust Clemson’s O more than Carolina’s. Top 10 vs top 60 with the QB edge. And Clemson’s D has some real studs on it too. Which is what Vegas says. I’ll make my pick game day. Will depend on who can and can’t suit up for Clemson. Carolina has been much healthier this year. But ST could be the difference. That Louisville game exposed some massive flaws in their kick game. You don’t really want ST weakness showing itself vs Beamer. And the 1 Gamecock win of the last decade….ST was the decider IMO.

you want a measuring stick of where Bryce Young really is today......it will come in 2 weeks at Philly. Hostile tough place to play, who knows weather, vs a legit good defense. He doesn't need to be Tom Brady....but he needs to not completely suck.

damn it well, clearly BOA is not the huddle where 1 random game is going to alter their reality on Bryce. So they are still not.....bought in?

Jake Delhomme casually threw the ball 71 yards in the air in the 2005 QB Skills Competition. Which was out throwing the likes of 20 year old Big Ben, Brees, etc. I think the poster was trying to say Bryce throws as prettier ball than Jake.

generally I like to throw out someone's worst game and there best game. What does that story tell you about a player.

Daniel Jones would make more sense than Andy Dalton

Miami still got to win there way into the Championship game. Nothing is a given with them in ACC play.

I mean, I don't know if you have been paying attention....but from early on in the year I have said Clemson was ACC good but was never good enough to compete with real top of college football. And that was true if they were ACC champs. So what exactly is going to be exposed?? lol They might lose to the Gamecocks. Smarter money would be on Clemson if you had to pick. Homefield, better overall talent, Dabo. It's a rivalry game featuring two comparable tiered teams this year. Nothing gets exposed there. and I think you draw a line in the sand at this point. Meaning the CFP can't be viewed as it was. New era. The real CFP era was Bama and Clemson. This is the CFP era vol 2. Which will feature a bunch of meh teams every year and meh teams bragging about making it and not really being a threat.

yeah, you should get an auto spot not an auto top 5 spot. I mean, Big12 still could go sideways and the #5 seed is someone the CFP actually ranks way out of the top 12. Right now it's the #16 seed but it could be lower than that.

If Clemson wins, they have a tiny shot at sneaking in. I’d say if Gamecocks win, that shot is much smaller than Clemson’s was Gamecocks got problems Clemson doesn’t. Ole Miss and Bama. Both ahead of them, with the head to head win over them.

This season, Clemson just became the 4th team in the history of college football to win at least 9 game 14 straight seasons. Dabo is 100% underrated. Which I get, he can be annoying to outsiders. The bar for Dabo is just put unattainably high….so people say like to say he is no longer good.

I’ll be honest, I haven’t sat down and watched SMU one time all year. I got no clue what they really bring.

What do you mean not reward the Big12 champion? 2 ACC teams projected in tonight not 3. Clemson is #12 but they are first out because they are forced to leapfrog in the #16 BIG12 champ

Not so much in the Palmetto Bowl. And also not always, see Dabo’s multiple nattys over SEC teams. You’re an interesting cat Mr.Colorado/SEC/Miami/formerTarheel fan.

Gameocks #15 THE Clemson Tigers #12

he has barely suited up for 50% of our games. It matters pending how much of our cap and resources go that way. If he cost in the ballpark of a Surtain? No thank you. Let someone else And as far we know what happens when we let talent walk away or trade them…..that’s a mixed bag. should we of paid Norman, Bradberry at CB? They probably had earned the right to be called better than Horn at that moment of the decision. Do we regret that? Do we regret Star walking? Can take it back to Spoon. Flip side is probably Peppers.

I've seen this movie before... Nightmare on Mint St 37. I know exactly what this new found crowd of Bryce believers is going to do in the coming weeks.

Prime is already gone boss. Nothing left for team Sanders in college football.

I think Bryce Young actually benefits from teams that run a heavy blitz % on D. I think the toughest D for Bryce overall is a team that sits in coverage, sit on the routes, and relies on their front 4 to do the work. Bryce still is limited in how much he can threaten a D with certain throws and allows them to cheat on their coverage roles.

We got no one on defense......and yet QBs certainly don't avoid going at Horn this year. I think he is still overly aggressive. Which means there is a lot of reward potentially there if you are a QB/WR. Which is why he has given up a lot of TDs and can be penalty heavy. I think if refs let him maul he is tough. Which he proves. But I think Horn is always a little more susceptible to the big play given how he plays. I also think Horn is a true man corner. You need to be running tons of man. I don't like him as much in zone. Nnamdi back in the day was a great man corner. Best in the league. Meh zone corner.

That’s already baked in to a degree with their poll that has been out. Miami will be #6 going into that weekend. the college football gods already helped prop Miami up and got them through VT, Cal. CFP Committee isn’t bumping Cam Ward out of the playoffs once they put them up at 6. The teams don’t exist to leapfrog them out at that point. it would take a Cam Ward injury to knock Miami out. It he got hurt and they lost…Miami should be knocked out like a FSU IMO

I mean that’s not an argument I go with… But in ACC play, both Clemson and SMU covered the spread more than Miami. Miami didn’t cover in 3 games.
