Clemson-RU would really be interesting. On paper, they are in a different class. But they would likely be so disinterested and have so many guys skipping the game to prep for the draft, that RU could pull off the stunner.

Nebraska late season is a better team as is Illinois. Agree with you overall, people are pushing a narrative that they can't defend the run but their opponents are more pass oriented. GT, if they face us, will absolutely focus on run D and dare us to pass.Georgia Tech would whip Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Purdue, Nebraska, MSU, etc…
I don’t buy the ACC is that bad,

Some pretty impressive offensive stats.

it's like our fans didn't watch our games lolThey have an elite defense
They would be scary to play even with a dozen optoutsit's like our fans didn't watch our games lol
Clemson would roll us like beat dog
VT would beat us right now going away. This will be a difficult game early next season at Blacksburg unless we find a QB...as are we..from when we played them. That score could easily be reversed.
I would think Powell might be ready ? Went out on 10/21 .. that will be 9 weeks for the hand to heal.You can be assured, even without our best linebacker.
Several weeks off and the ability to re- charge the battery will result in a very formidable defense against Georgia Tech.
Our only chance like every other game we won is if Kyle (the best back in the league) goes off.
If GT stops the run we have zero chance, we don’t have the ability to throw to set up the run like a bad Iowa offense did to us
Yet they showed no ability to stop anyone from running on them. They weren't anything to write home about defending the pass either, coming in at #73 in passing efficiency defense. 211 YPG.Nebraska late season is a better team as is Illinois.

Georgia Tech LOST to Boston College and Bowling Green. Stop it. Please.Georgia Tech would whip Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Purdue, Nebraska, MSU, etc…
I don’t buy the ACC is that bad,
I’ll stop nothing, You wouldn’t want to play Bowling Green, I don’t care what ridiculous stats you bring up.Georgia Tech LOST to Boston College and Bowling Green. Stop it. Please.
I would guess:All of these teams are in play:
- Syracuse 6-6 (not sure if ACC has a rule about no consecutive years) - unlikely
- Boston College 6-6 (probably ending up in the Fenway Bowl) - unlikely
- Clemson 8-4 (probably getting into a better bowl despite off year) - unlikely
- Georgia tech 6-6 (right record, no compelling reason to go to a different bowl) - likely
- Duke 7-5 (probably getting into a better bowl but maybe not) - decent possibility
- Miami 7-5 (nobody is talking about sending them north) - unlikely
- UNC 8-4 (probably getting into a bowl more local to them) - unlikely
- VT 6-6 (they won't replay a game from the regular season) - unlikely
While you'd have to consider GT the favorite, there are potentially 7 alternatives. So maybe wait until next Monday to continue this discussion.
Okay Zap. Whatever. Bowling Green lol. Gotcha. 7-5 overall (5-3 in THE MAC). 91st in Sagarin.I’ll stop nothing, You wouldn’t want to play Bowling Green, I don’t care what ridiculous stats you bring up.
Georgia would beat us by 50 if we played them the last game of the season and GT would whip the sorry ass bottom half of the Big Ten
The B1G is awful outside of 3 teams and an Iowa team that won’t beat anyone any good.Okay Zap. Whatever. Bowling Green lol. Gotcha. 7-5 overall (5-3 in THE MAC). 91st in Sagarin.
GT - couldn't "whip" the bottom half of the ACC yet YOU think they'd "whip" the bottom half ot he B1G? BULLSHIT.
Zap...you think Bowling Green would beat us....I remember when people were scared of playing Ball St in The International Bowl. Then we whipped them. We'd do the same to Bowling Green.The B1G is awful outside of 3 teams and an Iowa team that won’t beat anyone any good.
Sagarin LMAO
No one was afraid of Ball St.Zap...you think Bowling Green would beat us....I remember when people were scared of playing Ball St in The International Bowl. Then we whipped them. We'd do the same to Bowling Green.
I'm not saying GT is a bad team. Not saying they couldn't beat us, either, BUT YOU are seriously giving them too much credit right now. Look at their entire resume NOT just Saturday's game. One of the biggest rivalries in the nation. Throw it out the window.
You "laugh" at Sagarin...probably the best ranking system out there for gamblers...or at lest one of...for a reason.
Oh YES there were people here 100% thinking we would have trouble with them. No question whatsoever I remember it clear as day (the long term memory is still good, I promise...). We'd steamroll Bowling Green. 31-7 type of game.No one was afraid of Ball St.
We had friggen 12 NFL players on the field
A half dozen out of thousandsOh YES there were people here 100% thinking we would have trouble with them. No question whatsoever I remember it clear as day (the long term memory is still good, I promise...). We'd steamroll Bowling Green. 31-7 type of game.
An 8-4 Clemson is not falling to the Pinstripes. The ESPN writer who wrote that prediction is an idiot.Clemson would kill us. Anyone but them.
We "could," of course, but not the least bit likely. And, yes, you were I gotcha there!Nuts, I was one of the first posters in this thread saying 4 weeks off for our defense and we can play with anyone.
It’s all the BS I’m opposed to….and I stand by we could absolutely 100% lose to Bowling Green
LOL. You left out NC State (9-3/6-2). Finished 3rd in the conference. 🤨All of these teams are in play:

damnit...blame @LeapinLou I was going off of his post... lol!!!LOL. You left out NC State (9-3/6-2). Finished 3rd in the conference. 🤨
Perfect example of what I'm saying. I wouldn't read much from the season into the bowl games. It's just another game but not so related to the regular season because of so many possible changes on both teams in a game.I often say bowl season is almost like another season because of the long layoff. Now add in players sitting out and portal and it’s really a different season. I’m not sure how much you can read from the regular into bowl season for most teams.
My bad Rutgers will blow them out. What was I thinking. And did you not read the part about if RU plays like they did against Md. You think this team can beat anyone if they play like that?They also lost the Boston College and Bowling Green, but you seem to not give two shits about that. They also have the single worst rushing defense in all of P5 ranked 128 out of 130 in the nation. 120th nation overall total defense. But, according to you, those things don’t matt
Iowa, MD and psu was reminiscent of AshMy bad Rutgers will blow them out. What was I thinking. And did you not read the part about if RU plays like they did against Md. You think this team can beat anyone if they play like that?
I left off NC State, Louisville, and Florida State because they are a lock to be in bowls above the Pinstripe. The ACC, like the Sun Belt, has a lot of bowl eligible teams.damnit...blame @LeapinLou I was going off of his post... lol!!!
Have not handicapped it yet but seems a bit overboard to me. Not predicting a RU win but doubt GT is as good as Maryland.Rutgers is not winning this game.
You can throw in Yankee Stadium? Thought there was only enough room for ground outs and bunts.You can be assured, even without our best linebacker.

So GA Tech to the Birmingham Bowl ??Some pretty impressive offensive stats.
