State ahead of us??

 

[hoopsupstate]

How can NCS be ranked ahead of us? Otherwise, I’m ok with it.

 

[djorange1989]

Should be basically the same with AP, guessing 23-24 on Tuesday night for CFP. Just not enough teams with better resumes to boot us and, for now, yesterday was our one stinker so far (yeah UVA was bad but we won)

 

[djorange1989]

NC State ahead of us is funny. We beat them, we have the same record and while yes we looked bad yesterday they looked worse against the second worst team in the ACC (sorry Hafley)

 

[OrangeXtreme]

AP 22

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I feel good about this.

 

[rrlbees]

Not bad

 

[RF2044]

Miraculous, after that performance.

Need to bounce back and sh/t on Pitt to validate it. And we will.

 

[storange]

Not bad

Honestly, I thought we would be borderline 25. Let’s find a way to get by Pitt.

It’s not miraculous, who should be in front of us who isn’t? Lots of teams with lots of warts. And hell yes, this constant losing to Pitt is getting old. We should stack our front and dare Slovis to beat us, can’t let them run all over us

 

[rocfan44]

I can honestly say I am shocked. I thought for sure we were going to land 26th the way it normally goes for us. And I agree, it’s laughable that NCST is ahead of us.

 

[BKCuse]

I feel very good about being ranked 22.
Now let’s win at Pitt with CDRW and stay ranked

Or a healthy GS

Or a healthy GS

I can’t see Shrader being 100% by next week. I’m hearing both his ankles were in bad shape before ND game and ankle injuries don’t heal quickly.
I’d rather CDRW gets some run, they don’t have film on him so he’ll be hard to scheme against.
Let’s let Shrader heal up. A hobbled Shrader is an ineffective Shrader

I’m less concerned with how GS’s ankles are and more concerned with how DB thinks his ankles are. DB has always had trouble holding on to things for too long, except when it’s to get a punter in who can’t get a ball off fast enough. If GS is 25% in one of foot and 0% in the other I’m sure he carries him out for at least a half.

 

[qdawgg]

I think we benefitted from some teams behind us losing. We should be in the top 25 regardless but had those teams won I fully expected to be dropped out. ACC-Rutgers being in front of us is definitely a joke and just shows how dumb these things are.

Very true. Tons of teams just ahead of us, around us, behind us laws. Definitely helped cushion our fall.

Thought we might be out of the AP. Fortunately, the snot-nosed cut and paste crew is paying attention to the coaches...

 

[hoopsupstate]

In August if you said we’d be 6-2 and ranked 22, we would all be thrilled. We can still finish with a few more wins. Stay positive and supportive. The loss yesterday did nothing to our standings in the Atlantic.

I hear you. But I think once Dino makes the switch he’s not going back. Dino saw CDR make passes and not look lost in the moment.
I think he lets him play until GS is healthy.

 

[Trueblue25]

Absolutely crucial road game vs Pitt. Gotta change the perception that we had an easy ride to 6 wins and could lose out. Beat pitt, we know we’re legit time to prove it

Brett Mcmurphy put NC State 21 and left us out completely. And he's supposed to be a big name who pays attention.
