I can see the argument for and against GT.

For, they beat Ga in Athens, they run wild vs most everyone, they put up serious points and yardage without much passing at all for the entire year, last two games they score plenty vs two bowl teams, serious interior size and assingment discipline team, etc..

Against, if so good then why not in the mediocre ACC's title game? Medicore passing stats on 100 tosses for the entire season. Lost 2 of their final 5 games, struggled vs Gardner-Webb & Clemson. Tussles vs BC, VT, Va, FSU. 4 of 5 games played away from Dodd, were basically 3 pt games, winning but 3 of 5,etc..

Nobody is really saying we're "so good"...at least I'm not, the media might be drinking the kool-aid a bit.

But with the way our offense has played this year, when we get up against defenses with tendencies similar to your own, we have run pretty wild.

UVA, UNC played sound defense and tackled well, they managed to stop us + we turned it over 3 times in each game(leading to 21 of UNC's 28 points).

Gardner Webb we did not run our offense. Our third string QB is literally incapable of it(he is solely a drop back passer)..We called "dive, keep, or pitch" before every play, no option at all.

FSU we were stomping until our starting QB went out. FSU fans will tell you this.

Our first 3-4 games of the year we didn't have a clue what we were doing, BC and VT were total crapshoots...everyone seems to forget that this is the first year we have run this offense, with players recruited for something else.
