If Miami wins tonight they'll go undefeated. They have the classic Clemson schedule of ease. Louisville and Syracuse won't be a problem. Ward is good but it could be bad for the ACC if the toughest games Miami plays come in the tournament.

the classic Clemson schedule…generally featured them scheduling 2 SEC teams every year or ND.   Miami has a really weak schedule this year given they basically just got a Gamecock type game and no plus 1.  

If they lose to VT tonight, I think odds rise they lose again. 

I think Clemson has a better team this year than Miami.  Miami just the better QB.

Which SEC schools though? And ND sucks. I know you're the board's Clemson homer, but come on. You know they've had easy schedules in the past years. It's not a knock on them being talented. Don't feel you have to defend that. It's a knock on their pretty record during all those years.

UGA, Auburn, Texas AM, Notre Dame…

I mean they play in the freaking ACC. They play an ACC schedule.  But during their run, they always had 2 SEC schools or Notre Dame.   

Clemson makes sure they have 2 of those games on the schedule.  Miami only ever has 1.   

BOTH would be viewed as weak schedules.  But Miami schedules weaker than Clemson

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
