This is what I mean. Think about things. Would they have won the sec a single time? No. Would they have made the playoffs playing in the sec? No. You have to THINK before you speak. You're the people I'm talking about. Georgia tech, one good fsu year, and a single year of Miami beating up on the rest of acc trash doesn't mean they had any competition whatsoever.

You lack reading comprehension skills.

My opening comments state my intent very clearly but you still came up with the wrong conclusion.

Not Good my man… not good.

2 or 3 of their WRs, MLB, and the other corner will also be 1st rounders in 27. The other DT is also a potential 1st rounder. The only "weakness" is the OL and they're all 4/5th year returning starters, but outside of that this might be the most talented team Dabo's ever had. Why they're not being talked about as the obvious run away favorite to win the NC is baffling

Clemson is a good team, but let's not get too carried away. Last season they ranked 69th in total D. LSU was 61st with a very weak secondary and limited DT talent and depth. That Clemson defense gave up 350 yards passing to Pitt's back-up QB and were trailing with less than 90 seconds to go in the game.

Offensively they were 11th compared to LSU's 25th. LSU's SOS was 10th compared to 36th for Clemson.

Clemson is good and has an advantage with returning production and home field, but this team is not as good as the 2019 team. That team was 4th in scoring offense and 3rd in scoring defense. They were the #1 defense before LSU took them to the wood shed.

shite they probably gonna have 20 in the first round. I'm sure this is the best team they have had under Dabo. All those big wins this past season against top competition, has this all set up for Clemson. They had some big wins last year against very tough competition.

Most people are aware, BUT some are borderline delusional. A buddy of mine says we’re going 12 & 0. That ain’t happening. There will be a cool front in hell before this club reels off a 12 & 0. Silliness!

Much of the shine has come off Dabo post Deshaun and Veneable’s exit, he’s been really mediocre in a horrible conference.

Can’t take the titles from him obviously but much of it is right place, right time.

What? Are you dumb
Alabama had at least 4 1st Rd draft picks 6 times in a 10 or 11 year period. They even had 6 players go in the 1st round in 2021.

He went to the playoffs last year for Christ's sake. That's hardly mediocre

Raise the level of your argument instead of the volume.

lol that’s more than the 2019 LSU team. Considering they went 9-3 and lucked into a playoff spot last year i doubt it. Unless Dabo is just a terrible game day coach that is.

It's a team sport and the team is only as good as its weakest link. Gotta game and plan to exploit that.

Bc he won a terrible conference. Go look at that schedule that year and how they performed. Mediocre might be generous. They didn’t beat anybody worth a dang.
