State and Duke would be in the second ten.
What happened to Clemson? I think the Gamecocks might beat the Tigers this year.

Before the season is over, chances are that we will have bottom 50 at the rate they are going.

Clemson is being curse by a old jinx from the late 50's when playing Tech in Atlanta. For 7 straight years, Clemson has score only one touchdown in Atlanta. The jinx used to be call Grant's curse since Tech's stadium was name Grant's Field after the Yankee civil war hero General Grant. In fact after the civil war, hundreds of sites in Atlanta were name for General Grant, Grant's Park which is the present Atlanta Zoo. The name was impose by the Yankee Military Gov of Georgia to prove a point that it was Grant who was in charge instead of General Sherman who plunder, rape, burn, vandized, anything that move in Georgia during his infamous march to the Sea during the war.
When Tech and Clemson began their series in 1888 playing each other. Clemson was a military school then and consider anything name Grant as the enemy.In 1894 The entired Clemson student body march on Atlanta and created a riot at Grant field.
The Tigers won by default in the 3 rd Quarter, when the entired Tech team and coaching staff were held prisoners at the old Atlanta fulton county jail on treason charges. It was years later that young man came from Tennessee named Bobby Dodd and promise Georgia Tech that this would never happen again if he became the head coach at Tech. In 1948, he hired a Tennessee Yankee witch who place a curse on the Northern part of the stadium that would prevent any Clemson team from scoring in that direction. Strange things happen at that end of the field with Clemson players, tons of fumbles, running backs about to score and they starting to run the wrong way bewards, field goal kicks being caught in amazing Gales forces winds of 100 mph when Clemson would try a field goal. Flash floods pouring out on the Clemson team when at the Tech 10 yard line and being wash to their own 5 yard line.
The Clemson mascot " Tiger 2" was once run over at the 20 yard line by Georgia Tech rambing wreck cheer leading team during a half time show.
Frankly I am surprise that Clemson fans still make the trip to Atlanta to see the Curse at work once more. But those dumb rednecks at Clemson will do anything to prove how loyal they are to the Tigers.
I will predict this, if Bobby oldest son does not beat Steve Spurrier this year. He will become FSU head coach if he Dad decides to retired.
