When looking this up, I realized I share a birth day with Rob Spence. That surely means I will eat crow for this prediction, right?

No. 3 Clemson (4-0, 2-0) at Syracuse (2-2), 3:30 p.m., ABC/ESPN2. We have heard a lot of Syracuse players speak confidently about their chances at pulling the upset this weekend. The Orange have, after all, pulled an upset or two over a ranked team at home the last several years. The plan will be the same as the one that flustered Teddy Bridgewater and Geno Smith -- put pressure on Tajh Boyd and hope that does enough to limit the skill players on the perimeter and keep the scoring down. But if the Tigers can handle the pressure, watch out. The Syracuse secondary has been a weak spot defensively this year. Terrel Hunt has played well in the last two games for Syracuse. But he has not seen anybody that compares to Vic Beasley or this Clemson defensive front yet. The Dome crowd will be loud, but ultimately Clemson will prevail in large part because it will win the matchups up front.

Decent analysis. I love that the #3 team in the country is coming to the Dome vs. a 2-2 SU team and I haven't seen one prediction of a complete blowout. That's a pat on the back to HCSS and what FHCDM built thus far. Lot's of work to be done though.

You must not know that scrubby pine trees, that are always falling over and knocking things down, are the bain of all Carolinians.

Sure, but that doesn't mean we won't get smacked. Just because a few media types don't predict a big blowout doesn't really mean it can't or won't happen. I hope it doesn't, and I think it'll be a good game. I'm worried about Clemson's speed and athleticism, as well as the trenches. Let's hope the crowd does play a big factor.

Just so you know, Clemson is in upstate SC. So there are no palm trees there but there are a lot of pine trees. You see a lot more Palmetto trees in SC than Palm trees. That's why the Palmetto tree is the state tree.

Carry on.

I'm surprised none of the ESFers here pointed that out.
