Panthers can only manage to bottle up complete trash run games. If you are competent at running the ball our D falls apart

I mean we reportedly just turned down 2 first round picks for a one dimensional DE that we are about to overpay (designate a butt load load of cap space) given his handicap in the run game. It’s not exactly out of left field to be critical of him today given what was rumored.

I’m going to root for the cluster fug and the CFB to deal with this Big 10 Champ IN SEC Champ IN 2 1 loss SEC teams, 1 loss ACC champ, 1 loss PAC 12 champ, 1 loss Big 12 champ Eyeball test vs conference champ drawn in the sand.

Not arguing that. Committee has some precedents they have set before on how they evaluate and reward teams though….and they to an extent have to think about the years past and ahead. that’s why I think they would prefer life be easy on them and those other teams lose a game to weaken that conference title. Let’s say Clemson wins out. UNC wins out beating another ranked team. Then gets a conference title over a top 10ish team. You got a power 5 conference champ in UNC with one loss…..getting left out in favor of 2 one loss teams with no conference champ. Committee would hate to have to go there lol.

True. Same for Clemson. But I guess that is what you got to pull for if you are UNC or Clemson fan. Not that I want to see it given the Tigers got no business playing one of those teams this year. I’m sure the committee would just prefer one of the 2 teams lose prior so that ACC title win doesn’t look good on paper.

ACC could get weird. If Clemson and UNC win out…..could a one loss ACC Champ get in beating what likely would be a top 10ish team in the conference title? 1 loss ACC Champ teams have gotten in several years to the CFP. @LinvilleGorge guess you got to pull for Clemson the next couple weeks lol

They should. Gamecocks, Vandy. Missouri is the toughest left.

First year of the CFP era without Bama or Clemson. I guess chaos and losses could still happen though. But losses generally need to be early to get in.

Probably true. If you had Bama ahead of TCU last week. Why wouldn’t you have Tenn this week. It’s basically the same thing

if Bama wins this they aren’t getting jumped by TCU. Bama already ahead and it’s a win over the #10 team on the road UGA Ohio St Michigan Bama TCU

The college football playoff was the best thing to happen to Clemson. Unless the ACC gets a lot better….they still get an easy path. I mean they have been playing what is one of the worst ACC QBs the last 2 years. And they still are the top of the ACC. That’s a fixable issue. You might not get a Trevor but Clemson should be able to solve the DJ issue next year.

Older people thinking about years past consider Nebraska a blue blood. They aren’t IMO in college football anymore. that’s how I look at it at least How many kids think Nebraska is a blueblood over a Clemson? Unless you live in Nebraska you probably haven’t even seen Nebraska play if you are a kid lol Kids know Dabo, Watson, Trevor and see Clemson as a permanent fixture in college football. I think NIL and the upcoming conference changes will create a new mix of them. No one cares about 30 years ago

I mean, it depends how you choose to look at it….I mean you want to go back 40 years to talk about present day college football? That’s not how I am doing it. No recruit gives a fug about the 80s. Clemson is and has been a top tier program in the college football playoff era. Only behind Bama. I break it down by eras. NIL era is the next one coming up IMO.

CJ Stroud was horrible today too. Weird weather day though in a lot of games. Think he had 70 pass yards

I mean, they have won 10+ games every year for a decade. Them and Bama. Have the 2nd most CFP wins behind Bama and 2 nattys in that window. No one with more but Bama. If Clemson isn’t a CFB era blue blood. Then there is only Bama and no one else.

I mean Clemson has been pretty impressive. Winning a lot of games 2 straight years with horrific QB play. It doesn’t really get stated how bad DJ has been. And I don’t care the freshman threw a pick just now. You put young QBs in horrific spots and bad things happen. Stick with him

I mean that’s 2 back to back PIs on ND they ain’t calling. Same guy. Announcers just giggle at it lol. that’s game at Notre Dame. Clemson got no chance of a comeback if refs are ready to go home.

Trevor was like a lab built QB. Watson IMO had some magic Trevor didn’t Trevor was more consistent over the course of a game. Final drive, I’m taking Watson though

Kelly Bryant was a better football player. DJ a better pure passer. I’d take Kelly all day over DJ in the Clemson scheme. Cade is probably the best QB prospect not named Trevor that Clemson has landed IMO. Watson probably the best QB overall when it all was said in done but he wasn’t as highly regarded coming in

I wish. Dabo has been hellbent on proving folks wrong about DJ. Cade should of been developing and taken over by now. wind is too bad. Need Cade’s legs. It should be an easy call but Dabo going to Dabo

Bezos and JayZ. Bezos wants to likeable.

we are going to finish the season with 5 wins. That just seems to be our destiny.

Jimmy Clausen couldn’t throw the ball downfield. In fact he didn’t throw a single TD pass the entire season to a WR. 89 had a QB issue. Hence why he disappeared. you are playing revisionist history because 89’s 2010 runs counter to your claim. Being slightly banged up never caused 89 to disappear. That year or the others where he was documented playing through them at the conclusion of a season.

Jake Delhomme isn’t on par with what DJ has played with his entire career. And 89 didn’t make Delhomme. Jake’s best season was when 89 broke his leg week 1. and when 89 stepped onto the field. He wasn’t the only legit starter on the field playing WR DJ is a 1. He just isn’t a HOF caliber 1. You are blurring what a 1 is in the NFL. Wanting a Megatron doesn’t make DJ a 2.

#2 all time blocked kicks #2 all time in forced fumbles. Crazy stuff.
