even for bc bloggers the ACC bias is somewhat ridiculous. #3 for clemson and #11 for Wake Forest? you really think clemson can be a national title contender? Does WF even have an offense?
Concerning Clemson - their fans are pretty confident. Said one to me just yesterday "If we beat Alabama the first game, I think we'll run the table." I think they have to earn their way into the top ten, however. But it will be a big feather in our cap if we beat them November 1st - so the higher they are ranked, the better.
Wake seems high for the pre-season - 20-25 might be better at this stage. They may well work their way up.
keep in mind the preseason poll is measuring how strong/talented we think these teams are, not necessarily where they will end up at the end of the season.
i.e. clemson is loaded on talent, especially on the offensive side of the ball. does that mean they will finish #3 in the BCS standings at the end of the year? probably not, so long as t. bowden is still coach.
Just want a head's up on what flavor crow you'd like to eat when BYU and Utah lose to TCU... In case you forgot, Urban Meyer is in Florida now. Overrated.
coach - your frogs are 0 for mormon the last two years. just saying.
but if it ends up being crow, buffalo chicken please.
