Polls conducted less than four to five weeks in the regular season are as useless as nuns at a bachelor party.

Oh but see, the UVa educated one told me I knew nothing about college football (his words.) Apparently the people creating that poll don't know anything about college football either. I suppose we just have disgruntled UVa grads tell us ALL how we are supposed to think about college football, particularly this early in the season.

no, i said you filter your memory to serve your current argument.

Doesn't BC require you to be able to read before they admit you?

IB is the biggest bandwagon jumper there is. After one game, he's "calling" for Clemson to win the NC....

IB is desperate for ANYONE in the ACC (except FSU) to win a MNC to boost the coffers of the dead weight like BC.

The only way either wins it all this year is through a miracle season like AU had a few years ago.

If Clemson goes 13-0 (they should now, seeing how mortal South Carolina is) they will win the MNC

Who stops Tahj Boyd? Who? No one that I can see.

I think you meant 14-0

(unless you think they can lose their bowl game and still win the national title somehow...)

I didn't think they started the "playoff" this year. Isn't that next year?

Why did you put playoff in quotations? Is that your secret term for you circle jerk parties with your boyfriends?

IB - 12 game season + 1 ACC championship game + 1 MNC game = 14

correct. that is why I said....

all they have to do is go 13-0. They do that, they play for the MNC... and they'll win it.... since no one could stop Boyd. Sorry if that was far too complicated for this board to comprehend...

Boyd is good but he's far from unstoppable. Give him time and he's pretty reliable; get in his face and he's a deer in the headlights.

Unfortunately based on the first two games, FSU won't be able to generate pressure with the front four so we'll have to blitz, so it'll be a challenge to cover Watkins and the rest. Fortunately for us, their second best receiver is out for the season.

Does the unstoppable Tajh Boyd even have 500 yards on the season yet?
Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.

Okay they are going to kill us on Saturday. But I don't think they cover the 26 points. I think Clemson wins 56 to 38 (something like that.) Clemson will score at will (pretty much every single time they touch the ball) but BC will have possession of the ball for 36 of the 60 minutes, BC will get like 280 yards rushing, and Andre Williams will look awesome in a humbling loss.

If BC controls the ball that well, no way in hell there are 94 points scored.

Sure, why not?

Army had the ball for 36 minutes. There was 75 points scored yesterday and Andre Williams had 263 yards rushing.

When we played you guys, BC had 200 yards rushing and 82 points scored, combined....

Our defense blows Kevinole. We are totally committed this year to getting as many sacks as humanly possible (send eight if we must) and as a result, all we do is give up HUGE plays no matter how many points the offense and Andre Williams scored.

Your offense blows Kevinole? How did they decide on him?
U*NC is the cleanest most honest athletic program on the planet. I am jealous of their deserved success, and I'm a mewling cunt.

If you send 8 at the QB and get shocked when your defense gives up big plays, your DC and HC are morons.

Blitzing might work a few times against Boyd though, he's crazy good when he has time but (like EJ Manuel) looks lost when you get defenders in his face. Winston has been the exact opposite so far, if you blitz him you might get a sack once in a while but you might also get a SportsCenter highlight play. Also, even with a sack, 3rd and 20 is quite makeable with Winston, whereas it was a guaranteed draw play for Manuel.
