Media picks GT 6th in Coastal

CGC said something like Duke and Louisville were the only 2 games we played last year where we were close to full strength.
No spring practice last year much more of an impact to a team coming off 3O than other teams. Sims takes good step forward this year.
Nice adds via transfer portal in positions of need.
Jahmyr Gibbs (and hopefully a full season!)

Still have a ways to go- but could be better season than many expect.

Agree. We were pretty much in contact tracing hell for the 2nd half of last season, trying to play while missing whole position groups. Not much we can glean from last year.
 
I feel like BC is good when they’re supposed to be and and bad when they’re supposed to be good.

Our old S&C coach was a bigger problem the Sewak.

Details, please. Not a set up. I actually thought the previous guy was supposed to be good. Just looking for the back story. Didn't we have a significant defection in S&C staff last year?

Things are starting to line up.

I got no details. I just don’t think the staff that was here the last few years under CPJ did very well. Our guys never looked bulky, even the guys who should look that way. I don’t know if here was a switch or not.

I thought the guys at the end of the Hewitt era looked too bulky. You don’t want to be carrying unnecessary mass play basketball.

That’s the body type CPJ wanted though. He wanted everyone leaner and faster instead of bigger and stronger. It fit the 3O better.

For the OL, sure. For the abacks ok. But our LB, DL, DE, safeties, and corners weren’t cut like they should have been. Our bbacks were typically as strong as they would get as freshmen.

I enjoyed the 3O, but I don’t miss the old S&C coach at all.

I kinda have to judge the previous assistants by the jobs they've gotten since. For the most part, they haven't even made lateral moves and Sisk is at GA State now. IIWII

ACC Media Days

Interestingly, we did get four votes to win the Coastal.

Atlantic Division
(First-place votes in parenthesis)
Clemson – 1,028 (146)
NC State - 804 (1)
Boston College - 638
Florida State - 510
Wake Forest - 472
Louisville - 462
Syracuse - 202

Coastal Division
(First-place votes in parenthesis)
North Carolina - 979 (109)

Virginia Tech - 582 (3)
Pitt - 576 (1)
Virginia - 540 (2)
Georgia Tech - 340 (4)
Duke - 218

And outside of the predicted division winners, only four schools got any votes to win the ACC Championship:

Miami - 3
Virginia - 1
Georgia Tech - 1
NC State - 1

I changed the font to blue if its a team we play. Plus Notre Dame and the dwags. Tough schedule this year.

Is it still a thing that you have to win 6 to go to a bowl? Do our first two games (Northern IL and Kennesaw St) count? Seems a 6 win season is possible but the margin for error is zero.

It’s a sad state of affairs when we go from one of the longest bowl streaks in the country to someone from your fanbase asking “do we still have to win 6 to go to a bowl?”

BC is a pretty trendy pick to be good this year. Our crossover games are not going to be easy.

I'm still reeling after that disaster against Minnesota. Not only do we need a bowl game, we need a bowl win.
