It would be nice to upset Auburn. We surely don't want to lose to Vandy or LSU and need to beat Ole Miss again.

I believe we can win out, but that's just me.

As Frank used to say, all of our remaining games are going to be rock fights.

That's absolutely true, especially since we are now ranked as well.

 

[FurmanCock]

I don't understand the NET rankings. Clemson's ratings go up by 2, and ours drop by two spots -- despite beating the #5 team in the country on the road.

I don't understand the NET rankings. Clemson's ratings go up by 2, and ours drop by two spots -- despite beating the #5 team in the country on the road.

I'm betting it's a combination of harder schedule and more road quad 1 wins. NET likes to give credit to road quad 1 wins and they have 3 (including #3 UNC) compared to our 1. All we can do is just keep winning and it will work itself out.

 

[FurmanCock]

Yeah, they have one more quad 1 win than us, but also have 2 more quad 1 losses. We have a winning record in quad 1 games, they are break-even. Clemson is 3-2 in quad 2 games, we are 5-0. Both teams are 4-1 in quad 4 games, and unbeaten in quad 4 games.

In the end they did beat us when it counts, on the court.

Clemson knocked off Syracuse on the road today. That only helps our cause.
