That’s right. Hopefully that rat poison will destroy them. Hope in 1 hand, shite in the other.

Switch LSU for Penn State is about right. Should be a great game. Not sure where Clempson should be, but probably not #1. You can't put UT in the top 5 without a proven QB and mop up duty doesn't count. This top 5 just doesn't feel right. No bama and no UGA.

If anyone thinks we going into Clemson and winning that game, yall will be sadly disappointed. I believe this years team will be the best team since Kelly took over. This team will be in the playoffs and make a run to an SEC title but our offensive line is the week spot on this team and Clemson's Dline is loaded with NFL talent and I don't believe Nuss having to throw it 45-50 times with no running game can beat a team like Clemson on the road.

The biggest problem I see with this is if we lose to them, but Clemson turns out to just be an 8-4 kinda team. If we lose a close game to them and they finish 11-1 we should be fine.

Maybe I have lost my mind, but in what world are Bama and Florida this highly ranked?

This will be our toughest opener under the Kelly era. He hasn't done well so far in openers, and I really don't expect this one to be different.

My hope comes in Nuss we trust! If he has learned to tuck and run for a few positive yards, and can extend drives, eat clock, and score, then LSU wins. Gotta keep their offense off the field.

BK losing openers is a major problem. He has to win a big game at some point.

BK is not the problem the scheduler is. Deep into this transfer portal era scheduling good/great teams on the road for the first game is Russian roulette. Players need a game or two to adjust to their new team. In the old days only true feshman were new to the team and weren’t counted until later in the season. Now transfers are counted on early, but there will be some adjustment period. Playing a top ranked Clemsy team on the road ignores that.

How big of a gap do you honestly think there is in his top 10? He could have Clemson at 1 or 10 and it'll still be a good matchup.

Clemson may very well be #1 today but NOT #1 on 30 Aug.

it's clickbait.

Nobody knows anything at this point. Half of teams' rosters are new, with freshman recruits and transfers.

Just play the games, then we'll all know.

And just a few days ago some sweet summer child asked if there finally weren’t going to be excuses made for this season. Lol

Your title is misleading.
He does not have Clemson as #1 “going into next season”.
Those are clearly his rankings if he were being forced to rank teams at this very moment in time.

What a retarded ranking. We aren’t losing to Clemson. What did they do to merit this ranking? Get waxed by Texas in the round of 12 of the CFP?

They lost 4 games just like us, and we had a better offseason than them.

Dabo is a decent coach that only wins when has exceptional coordinators.

Of those 6 projected id bet that 3 or less get drafted in the 1st round.
