U of SuCk would be the second best team in the ACC?? And yet


Feb 14, 2019, 1:32 PM

they were destroyed 28-0 by the mid-level ACC team The Other White Meat. Sure eSEPpn. Sure.

eSECpn is so obvious. it's disgusting.

I totally believe that below statement was meant to put a big target on our back through out the ACC!!!

The ACC is thin on upper-tier teams. In fact, after Clemson, it has basically ... nothing. Clemson is more than 17 points per game better than every other team in the ACC.

Clearly, you don't understand. They are SEC. They didn't want to be there against UVA.
Also mental errors. And they were worn out from playing those 'tough' teams in the SEC least.

I get what you're saying, however what would the spread be if Scar played any team in the ACC? FSU/Cuse/VaTech/Miami vs Scar. I see Scar being favored slightly in probably all those games on a neutral field. Doesn't that by default mean they are second best team?

No - I'm not a coot, just playing devils advocate. FSU being ranked 22 FPI preseason is also suspect...what have they done to warrant being in top 25? They have 1 QB

Again this is all on paper during preseason. We know Scar sucks in reality but at this point in time I don't know how you can say they shouldn't be ahead of other ACC teams.

Scar was only favored by 4.5 against UVA who went on to beat the crap out of them. So your saying that Cuse, NCST, BC would all be underdogs? I don't think so. In fact NCST was the favorite to start the season last year.

FPI uses recruiting as a factor in its rankings. My guess, it is used as a heavy factor for preseason rankings. ESPN ranks 11 of 14 SEC teams in the top 25 of recruiting. Now I know Clemson benefits as well, but do we really think the South out recruits the rest of the nation by that margin? How do other teams even compete?

Re: U of SuCk would be the second best team in the ACC?? And yet


Feb 14, 2019, 3:12 PM

NCST was the favorite to start the season? I'm not sure what that means they didn't play last year.

UVA beat Scar in a meaningless bowl game when Scar didn't have their best player. I don't think UVA wins 28-0 if that game is played week 1. Not making excuses for Scar (glad they lost) but we're not comparing the same thing - I'm saying for the upcoming season I think Scar would be favored over any other ACC team (besides clemson) week 1 on neutral field while you are brought up Scar losing to UVA week 13 last year when you have the entire season's data points

I would assume that FPI uses returning starters/production as the lead input for the calc, followed by recruiting to a much lesser degree.

Predictions are one thing, projections the same, but results on the field count more. 28-0 says all I need to know about the coots on how they would do in the $EC. THe $ec aura is heavy within E$ecPN, always has been, always will be.

That is one of the sorriest excuses for a sports article I have ever read. Ridiculous assertions, supported by nothing and he just declares it to be so. Same garbage as the “Bama could beat a Pro Team” lie, from last year. Ridiculous, stupid, unprovable.........and a lie.

I’m all for some good ole coot bashing, but it’s hard to argue that any other team in the acc is better. The acc was god awful last year. Just pathetic. Sure USuCk isn’t a great team by any stretch of the imagination, but they could beat any team in the acc except clemson on any given Saturday.

NOT THIS ****

dude what are you smoking? Can you back that up with any facts at all, other than a matrix of guesses passed off as measurable facts ?

Number of returning starters - what if your starters suck.

Recruiting ranking - What if your coaches suck. Plus we just saw on Tnet a fake player got 3 stars.

Any metric that has them listed as a pre-season top 20, is by definition seriously flawed.

Clemson Va, Syracuse, NC State, Miami, Duke, BC, Pitt, VT, and several others would beat them in 19. They shouldn’t be in the top 50.

see the table of FPI rankings?

they have Clemson's FPI ranked at #1. The next ACC team is FSU at #22. U of the Suck is ranked by eSECpn at #19.
