I wouldn't have us in the Top 25...I'd say 30-35 range!!!
Clemson fan here...you guys are
totally overreacting to this loss. Sure it's a tough loss, but that's because you set your expectations so high on that one "revenge" game.
Who on your schedule can matchup (DL, LB, DB's and a DC) against Lamar and your skill players? Maybe...maybe, FSU and here's why, they are undisciplined. The same thing that got them last season can get them this season. I'm not saying it's gonna be another blowout but LJ could get 6 or 7 TD's in EVERY GAME he plays this season. Hell, 2 TD's against FSU might be enough. They have a 165 lb freshman at QB, they might be on QB #3 by then. Trust me...you'll get them again!
I was impressed with your skill guys, they have size and speed and run with aggression. Stay healthy and a NY6 game is in your future. I'm glad our game is over and wish you luck the rest of the way. But average Defensive play will have you at 9-1 with FSU as a toss up.
FSU will have 4 tough games ahead of them before they play you guys.
NC STATE (2W-1L, but out gained USCjr. 2-1 in yardage that game, turnovers and ST killed them).
At WAKE (3-0, and scoring points this year).
MIAMI (1-0, last years game was decided by a blocked extra point 20-19, and MIAMI wasn't any good then),
At DUKE (3-0, scoring points and always battle FSU.
