Pretty ****** rationale if I've ever heard it.

The whole league is up in the air at the most important position, but they don't know who their's will be, but they have awesome weapons that will make anyone at the position look good.

I mean, if you want to rank us 8th that's cool, but give me a better reason why.

i think golden is loving how everyone is sleeping on us. this team looks so much stonger, faster and deeper than any team we have had for quite a few years. if we are 8th best this conference is better than the SEC.

UNC is a joke getting all these accolades. We should be 5th going into the season behind FSU, Clemson, Louisville, Duke. All 4 of those teams won 10 or more last season, and return enough.

I think by years end we could be 3rd best though.

Hopefully Golden has been sand bagging

Carolina is better than us. I'd go Fsu, clem, and us and Carolina interchangeable. Then duke.

We're ranked way too high IMO

 

[jruiz]

wtf is everyone sucking UNC's **** for if i may ask?

 

[x_y_no]

Meh.

Florida State at #1 is a no-brainer. Clemson a #2 makes sense maybe. After that, the whole list is BS.

Thats why we beat them in their house without Duke, Dorsett, and with Stephen Morris worst game of his career?

UNC's defense is bad, and their OL has issues. The reason they are getting hyped is how they ended the season.

They beat alot of bad teams.

BC, N.C State, Old Dominion, Pittsburgh, and UVA. Won their bowl game vs. Cincinnati.

And in the middle of this winning streak UNC LOST TO DUKE at home. 2nd year in a row they lost to Duke. Not sure why people still think Carolina is better than Duke.

I don't want to be ranked 8th best team in the ACC until we prove we can STAY there.

Rationale:
1. No QB. If Williams is healthy, we are ranked 4 at the worst. Weis bashed Heaps without saying his name walking out the door and Kaaya is a TF. It would be nice if Vidal Sassoon would've taken his spot on this team seriously.
2. Defense/ Coach D
3. Schedule. @Louisville, @Braska, @VT and FSU. Not the SEC West but pretty tough.
4. Golden hasn't proven he can win a big game. He has nothing or no one left to blame if this season doesn't go well.
5. It's the U. ESPN hates us.

Lotta disrespect nationally. I say good, go fvking earn it.

Vegas has us favored to win the Coastal...

 

[Muffin Man]

How the **** is Pitt ahead of us?

 

[cubin10]

Team should have a huge chip on their shoulders and hopefully prove the naysayers totally wrong. Like Big Mike says, let the actions speak for themselves.

 

[ThomasM]

They added a "mobile" QB. That's a really, really bad list. We are returning practically everyone, and for the first time in years we will have a team with more upperclassman starters than underclassmen. That's way bigger than most of these people know.

How the **** is Pitt ahead of us?

 

[ScubaCane]

****, we still suck

 

[Gatorhater]

Give us Duke's coaching staff and we win the ACC.

The hate from the espn acc blog is real.... Fu_k them....

Who really cares what a blogger thinks? I sure as fvck don't. We'll go ahead and play the games anyway.
