Looks like the Coastal is wide open again this year - but who in the heck is giving UNC and Georgia Tech a 1st place vote??

 

[Rocco]

Syracuse has 2 more 1st place votes than Florida State. This was a pipe dream before Dino came along.

Love the new-found respect, now we have to continue to deliver.

3rd place in ACC could get us back to Camping World

We don't have to convince anyone here, but I hope the rest of the fanbase realizes how lucky we are to have this guy as our coach.

Camping World attendance suggests yes. Hopefully Dome and road game attendance will show similarly this year.

I'm expecting a large & loud orange away section at that Maryland game.

The bigger question is who gave SU first place votes?

I think the community has spoken with season ticket sales. However, I think we need one more good year to back up last year before the casual fan will really invest (away game attendance, walk up crowds, etc.).

So excited for this year but so nervous as well.

What that means is 2 out of 173 media members thinks SU beats Clemson in the Dome this year because not one of the 171 are thinking, yeah SU beats Clemson but then loses two conference games after that.

 

[Cusefan69]

Yeah it’s nice that perception is changing for the program. There will be some pressure on HCDFB’s to deliver again this year. Has to happen. He knows it. He needs successive winning seasons to keep turning the program around. 1 winning season with a bowl win does not mean the program has turned the corner. Do it for a couple years in a row and corner will be “turned “ and then watch out. It’s really going to be fun to watch. Thats why I upgraded my seasons as I am thinking better seasons from a location standpoint are going to be harder to come by in the future.

What I want to know is who the heck gave FSU that many votes.

 

[Briancuse]

My guess would be Clemson beat guys.

 

[skurey]

Same media picked us to finish last last year. They don't know anything.

 

[KaiserUEO]

My guess would be Clemson beat guys.

After Dabo ordered them to vote that way.
