Looks like we go 5-0. Keep playing loose and we perhaps head back to Miami.

NC State allowing 12 yards per game in rushing. Dang man, that is legit! And they are Ranked 35th in the nation, I wonder who is better?!
Yes, I am being sarcastic.

Our rush defense stats are about about to go way up and give

us a false sense of security that our defense is better. Wake, Duke, and MD can't run worth a lick. NCST and USC aren't much better, but it will count a lot more then because they're better teams.
Wake we just have to play our B game and we win by 14 plus
Duke we need our A game just because they pass so well, but I can't see a loss here unless we turn the ball over and Tajh plays poorly.
MD should be a pretty easy win because we can score on them (even if its a season low) but their offense is down to last years 3rd string QB.
NCST peaks late and this one will be a dog fight.
I think until we break this streak, I'd still consider us an underdog here.

Clemson could decide if FSU & Duke play twice. Weird, eh?

NCSU controls their destiny. But if you look at it from a weird, if-laden Clemson perspective, we probably decide who wins the Atlantic (and probably the ACC) because if we beat NCSU, we will probably hand FSU the Atlantic. If we lose to NCSU, we probably hand NCSU the Atlantic.
Now we have to hope that:
1) Duke can go into Doak and beat FSU.
2) VT can beat FSU in Blacksburg on a Thursday night. That’ll be 1 week after VT goes to Miami on Thursday night. Unfortunately, FSU will have extra days to prepare for VT— not that it matters much.
3) UMD can pull the upset at home in College Park with a 3rd-string frosh QB.
I guess one good thing about not having a playoff is that it makes some of us want to watch otherwise uninteresting games like Duke-FSU.

Wishful hoping on our part, but I don't think FSU will lose another game here on out. I just don't see anyone they have left beating them IF they stay focused. I hope that the pride of not losing at home remains a very high priority for our Tigers. If we can just get past Wake on Thursday night. Hopefully our quest to go undefeated at home two years straight will give our guys a we will not lose at home attitude. If we win out, 11/1 is a great season with beating two SEC super conference teams. I tried saying this out loud, but it came out in a language that couldn't be understood, so I'll try typing it. If the coots win all but our game with them. We maybe will land in a BCS bowl. Now if we go 11/1 with a BCS bid, that's a H&LL of a awesome season for our Clemson Tigers. And with bigger and better things for us next year. Goooo Tigerssss!!!!

I usually don't say much about an article...

But um...this isn't really a blog. You just regurgitated facts from ESPN in complete sentence form. Not sure how that qualifies as a blog...but okay. I guess it's better than some of the other crap on here today...but not by much.
