Just some predictions.

Not to look ahead of Auburn or anything, but I really think we have a good chance of repeating as ACC Champions. If we basically say that only us and FSU are the real threats in the Atlantic division, it seems very probable that we could get back to Charlotte. Many people are saying that our game in Tallahassee will decide the Atlantic division, and it very well could, and yes if we won it would be nice and it would put us ahead of everyone else most likely, but that could very easily be our toughest game and we could lose.
I don't think that game has to decide everything though. We open up @FSU for our first conference game, and if we win, I think we go on to win the division and go to the ACC Championship, BUT if we lose, here is what could happen.
FSU opens at home against Wake. Let's say they beat them. Let's also assume that they win @Maryland later in November and also beat BC at home. Those are their 3 wins that I think they have no chance of losing.
I don't want to guarantee us with any wins, because we know we are Clemson and we all know anything could happen, but if you say that we win all our home ACC games, which I think is very possible, that gives us wins against GT, VT, Maryland, and NC St. So then we have our other away games besides FSU. We have @BC, and @Wake which are both iffy. We also have @Duke but I'd like to think we take care of business up there.
FSU on the other hand has @NCSt, @Miami, AND @VT on a Thursday night.
So if we have 3 iffy games including, @FSU, @BC, and @Wake... that's less than FSU's 4 iffy games including us at home, @NCst, @Miami, and @VT.
I'm beginning to like our chances. How 'bout yall?

FSU is a powerhouse and with their ridiculous defense and OUTSTANDING QB, there's no way they wont win the ACC just like ever other year...

It will depend on how much our defense improves

as well as the OL. (Why are we always "rebuilding our OL?) Probably a little too much to expect one spring and fall camp to make that much difference. I'm always hopeful for better but 7-4 is my prediction.

Im not concerned in the least about the FSU game.

even if we lose, I know it will be hard fought and our kids will be ready. Its the GT, Maryland, Wake, NCSU, BC and even frickin Duke games that worry me.
One glaring inconsistency that still plagues our program and has not improved under Swinney is our remarkable ability to lose games that we have no business losing.
I hate losing period..... but I can stomache losses to FSU and VT..... but no way should we lose games to the teams above nor should we have to eek out victories against Wake Frickin Forest.
If Dabo can correct this glaring plague, then that will go a long way for him to be fully accepted by all of the Tiger faithful.
