"Difference is Mullen is ordering a banner to hang for that ranking and we are pissed. We will own this guy for years to come."

Yeah, we've gotten under their skin with our improvement this year.

Another nugget I got from their site; 7, 16, 11, 9....... Clemson's recruiting classes the last 4 years. I believe they are beginning to realize they have a good recruiter for a coach, but not a good coach.

Dabo gets difference makers at QB though and they are very selective on who they take. Watson, Bryant and now Lawrence are all freaking studs. They win a lot of games.

I think I remembering Clemson having nine 5* kids on the roster this year and a top 5 roster total.

The only years they have lower classes are when they just can't take any more numbers.

This is Mullen's first year with mostly Butter MacSharks PBJ Superstars.

Can we let him get to year 3 before we get too critical?

FSU will be in shambles, The U will still be the U, and without Frost the NC UCF will be an afterthought.

I was curious so I looked at Clemson's ranking by star average for the last 4 years: 11, 7, 4, and 3 (6.25 avg). The year they were 11th by star average, they were 4th overall by Rivals and had 3 five stars.

Our star average rankings the last 4 years are 19, 17, 9, and 7 (13 avg). Bama's is 3, 1, 2, and 5 (2.75 avg). UGA's is 6, 5, 7, and 2 (5 avg). Michigan's is 18, 4, 8, and 19 (12.25). I decided to stop there.

We definitely overachieved this year based off of recruiting rankings. Hopefully instead of making more with less, Mullen will be able to improve the talent further and make more with more like what Dabo is doing with Clemson.

2-2. We beat LSU & Michigan, lost to UGA & KY.

Bowls are so unevenly approached by trans and key players that I think the ranking at the end of the regular season is more reflective of that body of work.

By that measure we were 3-3.

That’s also better than the “when we played them” stat since the season was incomplete.

Our ranking seems about right to me. We are in the bucket of teams 6-17 that can play with anyone and win big games and lose to anyone if not playing well or without key players. Given our strong finish, we belong at the top of that bucket.

Top 10 seemed very unlikely to me at the start of the season. What a good start to the Mullen era.

But we’re 0-0 now and in the weight room laying the foundation for 2019. I hope they are hungry!
Duh. Forgot about Michigan. :facepalm: :lol:

Scott Strickland to Danny White:

“Danny, congrats on a great season. Tough loss against the corndogs, maybe next time. Regarding our offer of a 2 for 1, I noticed that your football program is no longer top 10. So we’re going to have to modify our terms. How does a game in Gainesville, say maybe in 2028 sound to you guys? I think we can fit you in that year as our end of season cupcake while we get ready for Free Shoes U. Take care.”
Really should take the offer off the table.
