Quite easily really. Clemson no longer has senior and junior pros on that D Line so they have to prove it to me first before I fear them in the trenches, FSU WR corp is better than Clemson's DB group, and James Blackman will be the best arm Clemson play all season. If people banking on FSU o-line being the same are just painting by numbers and don't know the true issues. FSU played the most combinations of o-linemen in the conference. A lot of players playing out of position and before they were ready due to lack of numbers and injuries. Now the line is 300lbs plus across the board after a year under their belt in the weight room. Also, the last two years I've watched Dino Babers offense give Clemson all they can handle.....and guess where he coached at and got the offense from? Plus its never been a talent issue with FSU, they were just puppies. 5* RBs Akers and Laborn, #1 Center Baveon Johnson, #1 DT Marvin Wilson, 5* DE Joshua Kaindoh, 5* LB Dontavious Jackson, and 5* CB Stanford Samuels are all just Juniors. Former #1 CB in the country LeVonta Taylor is a Senior. Clemson just really started recruiting like crazy (they were just 10th fresh off a chip this last cycle) so the gap isnt that wide in talent. Add in a competent QB and a bonafide star in Tamorrion Terry at WR, I dont fear Clemson at all. Plus we walked into Clemson before when they were riding high and embarrassed them. FSU will beat Clemson this year.

First off, I'd take Kellen Mond over Blackman based on what they've done so far in their careers.

I like Kendal Briles. He did an incredible job coaching at Houston and Baylor, but he's never played against a defense nearly as good as Clemson's will likely be, especially in the secondary. And that offensive line is gonna be brand new so they'll need time to get with their new quarterback, and Death Valley ain't the best place to gel. It's true Clemson don't recruit a lot of 5 stars, but that's what makes Dabo great. He gets the right kinda 3 stars who fit his system and are hungry to prove themselves. And FSU did give Clemson fits at one point, but that's when Jimbo was running shyt. In fact, Clemson will have a tougher game against A&M than FSU. Maybe even against Cuse in New York too.

And that Clemson offense is gonna be murderous. Sunshine, Etienne, Higgins, ****, my word. Clemson will be a 2 touchdown favorite at home, easy. Mind you, 6 hours ago before I wrote this I bet on FSU to win at least 8 games this season. They'll be a lot better, but not beat Clemson in Death Valley good.

No spin. And when hasn’t Saban not have a revolving door of coaches in the last 4-5 years. They go there to boost there resumé and bounce. It’s not like with Aranda or Raymond who seem content where they are OR waiting on a top tier job to come their way
