Bowl game refs stole a victory, we should've been top 15.
Well, it’s contradictory and hypocritical to give credibility to our ranking but not the rest of the poll. and how many teams did we beat with a winning record? 3, and one was UAB.Bruh stop it... you know how these recruiting ranks work. You win and you are in regardless of strength of conference UNLESS it is the top 4. There are only a few teams ahead of us with equal or more losses... ok. St (who beat us) UNC (who beat us) and the likes of UF. If you want to just play the name game, we are ahead of LSU, Oregon, TCU, Wisconsin, Auburn etc. and dont come at me with the "well they were dog **** this year" because it is irrelevant when you are listing teams like BYU who beat I think one team with a winning record, and overall played teams with a 45-60 record.
That D staph has been together for 5 years. They recruited their own players. Is that enough time to make a change?Exhibit A of why this board is allowed to be such a cesspool. Outside of a couple of them, the mods mope around here this bïtch too.
With friends like these..
Anyways, I guess I just don’t see how you can talk about recurring and themes when a staff has just completed it’s 2nd season.
Especially considering the 1st season largely consisted of despicable Ls to subpar P5s and G5s bc of a terrible O, while this year the Ls were to 3 ranked teams bc of poor D. Sure they were mostly ugly losses but I’m not catching your themes. Unless it’s progress, since we at least beat the teams that we definitely should have, fought in the bowl game and finished ranked. Of course it’s not though, bc this board expects to finish undefeated yearly while also regularly decrying the team’s overall talent level. Shît never makes sense on here so whatever fits today’s agenda.
But sure man, “once again” we suck. Fire everybody and consider folding the program. The landscape of college football is LOADED with dominant programs and we are so desperately behind them all that we can’t hope to compete moving forward.
We got smoked by 1 good team, and hammered by a 3 loss team, and taken to the wire by several bottom feedersWe got smoked by a good team. That does not disqualify the entire season. Sorry.
You are still talking about how we lost

That's because you only read this board.Odd. If you read this board you’d think we were the worst team in the history of college football. But somehow we ended the season ranked for just the 4th time in the last 15(!) years.
It didn’t end how we wanted but we took a step forward this season. Need to take another step forward next season.
Coker, Shannon and Golden...last one became a pretty big cloudYeah but a lot of those 15 years we were under a cloud

When you have 5 national championships with a mini dynasty going it is for a lot of us hard to think otherwise. It’s going on 20 years since we were a threat.Odd.

OSU actually stuck around longer than I thought. We did not stand a chance against UNC. It was over once we settled for 3 that opening drive.People also hang on the bad. Relentlessly.
FIU - should have never lost, Jarren was atrocious and sometimes you can’t overcome turnovers.
UNC - the horse was out of the barn and it imploded. Alabama did that to OSU last night, we did it to ND a few years ago.
Do you think we lose that way to UNC if we played that game 10 times?OSU actually stuck around longer than I thought. We did not stand a chance against UNC. It was over once we settled for 3 that opening drive.
With this same coaching staff? Maybe not the same margin, but I don’t see us winning. Baker has faced UNC twice as DC and we’ve given up 90 points and 1,167 yards.Do you think we lose that way to UNC if we played that game 10 times?
And this year’s game made up a lot of that....With this same coaching staff? Maybe not the same margin, but I don’t see us winning. Baker has faced UNC twice as DC and we’ve given up 90 points and 1,167 yards.
Maybe Miami keeps it close in a game or two. But the defensive staff made zero adjustments all game so it's hard to see them making adjustments if they played 9 more times.Do you think we lose that way to UNC if we played that game 10 times?
This is the key.............we saw Alabama make adjustment after the Buckeyes answered them . They gave different looks on D and attacked aggressively.Maybe Miami keeps it close in a game or two. But the defensive staff made zero adjustments all game so it's hard to see them making adjustments if they played 9 more times.
This "new staff" has been here for 5 years now, so what the **** are you talking about?Exhibit A of why this board is allowed to be such a cesspool. Outside of a couple of them, the mods mope around here this bïtch too.

Sobering stat: that’s only our fourth time finishing ranked in 15 years.
Let’s hope this is a positive step forward and not a meaningless one-off.
Don't you dare let Dee Wiggins off the hook.Would have been higher if Mark Pope could catch
