over the coots, after choosing Door A, would you take it? Or would you say I'd rather take my chances and see what's behind Door B?
I'd say, give me Door B. What say you?

ACC Champs? Sure. But, any door that includes another loss to SCAR needs to padlocked shut regardless the rest of the season!!

Have to take Door A.
We could probably still get in the ACC Championship with 2 losses if we lose to a coastal team and an Atlantic opponent someone besides Florida State.
I'd like to think I don't care bout the Coots game. But losing 4 in a row would sting. I for one don't know how any Tiger fan can stand to for that to happen.

It depends. We are in a fragile time now - kinda like 1977

1978. After years of being crappy we finally win the conference in 1977. We get smashed by Pitt in the Gator Bowl. We come back the next year and go 11-1 and beat Ohio State in the Gator. For the first time in a long time Clemson puts together 2 winning seasons with bowl games.
Now flash forward to 2011. We win the ACC for the first time in forever. 10 wins in 2012 and a major bowl win would be fantastic and give us 2 winning years in a row.
And like a primer, winning means more and more success. So 1977-78 paid off in 1981 and beyond. The same here. A 10 win 2012 season coupled with last year's is going to pay big in the years to come. NOW DO NOT MIS-UNDERSTAND--I WOULD BE BESIDE MYSELF IF WE WON MORE THAN 10 but a 10 win season is solid in my book. Think of the talent we will have going into 2013.
GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Depends on whether or not door A gets us to the ACCCG and the chance at a BCS Bowl game or not.

Door B I think this team can achieve great things. I truly believe we can beat everyone on our schedule.

10-2 with a win over SCAR would be about as good as I could possibly hope for given all the question marks on OL and DL.

I am 1000% with you.
1. It is an improvement upon last year.
2. End to the 3 game losing streak. Specifically, if Door B were 11-1, with the one loss to SC, I would not take it. Sorry, I am tired of hearing their stupid fans think so much of themselves.
3. With the questions at OL and DL, yeah, 10-2 would be great.
4. The table would be set for 2013, which is really the year I think will be special.

If the old adage that "you are only as good as your last game" is true, then anyone thinking 10-2 would not be a fantastic year is a bit goofy.
This season is the year that the recruits of Dabo's first recruiting class will be juniors and seniors, and that was a weak class due to the coaching change. Folks should look to next season and not be disappointed with a respectable season in 2012.

Are we allowed to assume a bowl win as well?

If so, I'm certainly satisfied with scenario A. Gives us something to shoot for in 2013.

This year I would take a 10-2 record with a win over the coots. While Door B might be something bigger,losing to the coots 4 years in a row would be hard to live down. Now next year is a different matter.

season (ahem, mine included but not by much), would put us in line for a strong bowl invite and possible top 10 finish heading into 2013, would get us at minimum a top 20 finish regardless, would help us put the finishing touches on 2013 signing day as a top 5 class. I would sign up for A and call it a strong year and likely a more enjoyable off-season than this past one.

i would assume we get a very good bowl game,too. win that we have 11 wins, recruiting will be off the charts good for '13 (that has already started), and the talent is on hand,with experience, '13 pre-season top-5,10 at worst,and on our way to the top of the mountain!

Got to say this about my picking Door B. USA Today ranks us
Aug 7, 2012, 6:34 AM

14th in the preseason, with only FSU and the coots ranked higher. So to say we'll go 10-2 is a given, to me. The "experts" think we'll go 10-2. Therefore, why not me? But, I fully expect to beat the coots because we have them at home, they lost a boatload to the NFL, they lost the main reason for their success (Ellis Johnson)and we fired the person who could never figure out Spurrier's offense (Kevin Steele).
It's 11-1, folks. You can take that to the bank.

With the inexperience on OL and DL 10-2 would be great! I think we could be 9-3 with losses to FSU, AU/VT and Wake/NCST.
