This may seem a bit simplistic, but I think we stand the best chance for the upset against the teams with the smallest DTs.  Example, NC St starts two 300# guys at DT who are backed up by two 300# guys.  We averaged 2 yards/carry rushing against them.  Pitt has nobody starting or 2nd on the depth chart on the D line who weights 300# and what happened?  3.2 yards/carry rushing.  Yes, I know 3.2 is not impressive but we actually looked at times today like we could run the ball.  When we can't run at all our O becomes far more predictable.

By this measure:  Clemson will be very tough b/c they've got a pair of 300+ guys clogging the middle.  FSU does too, and Miami's not far behind.  UL starts one 300# guy on the dline with one backup 300# guy.  I think we've got our best shot at moving the ball on the ground against UL.

However, the Clemson game becomes more interesting if they need to start their backup QB.  That perhaps gives us a punchers chance.
