Rivals ranks us 73rd

Should be pretty easy to beat expectations, if that's what the national media is giving us.
 
I have yet to see a logical argument of why our team is going to fall off the face of the earth next season. However, it a foregone conclusion to pretty much everyone that we will next year. I guess going from a team with a struggling offense and good defense for the past 7 years to a team with a struggling offense and a good defense this year is a HUGE change, lmao.

I think GT is better than 73rd, but I can still give you a logical argument why we might be 73rd this year.

#1, Our offense. We've never ran CPJ's offense, and the spring showed, until we get good at it, we might have some problems. That might take until next year.

#2, We have unproven players all over our back 7. 3 new starters on secondary who haven't played much, and 1 or 2 new guys at LB.

#3, we have a new DC. Who knows, his schemes might not work, he might not be a good DC with GT. It's happened before (Roof).

#4 we lost the nations #1 punter, and an All-ACC FG kicker.

#5, GT wasn't that good last year. We beat 1 team with a winning record, and were destroyed by a middling Fresno St. in our last game.

There are 5 logical arguments why we might fall off the face of the earth this season. I don't think it'll happen, but it mgiht.
 
Even if there are logical arguments that we may falter some this season, I am hard pressed to believe that the only team in the ACC who is going to be worse than us is Duke. If you look through the rest of the rankings they are the only team ranked lower. Either Rivals sees some drastic improvement across the board in our conference or they are just way off the deep end.

I mean do people honestly think UNC, NCST and Maryland will all be in the top half of college football teams this year. I know i don't.

All you can do is take it with a grain of salt and wait for us to prove them wrong this fall.

Yeah, but who's gonna say "I told you so" first when we break loose and beat the crap outa the mutts?

Then again, maybe the writers all really like PJ and want to lower expectations as much as possible so he will look grreat when we do break out.

Maybe we can be like pitt last season.
 
Rivals typically underrates Tech. Scout typically overrates Tech.

Last season, I think?

I remember Scout making us sound like MNC contenders (LOL) while Rivals said we would suck. But I guess seeing how the season went down, Rivals didn't really underrate us.

Are the CFN rankings the same as Scout's rankings?
