Seems to me that there are 2 basic ways to respond from winning a game you should win, but coming from behind to do it.

1. The GT way: SEE we can just turn it on and win....

OR

2. Holy fuck.  we better play better than that.

I am with you on Clemson, and thinking (hoping) they are in camp #2.

I watched all of the last 3 GT games.  And the last two weeks of sloppiness have clouded the domination of NC State (where, at times, they were sloppy).  Tough to hop on that train again.

Not that it matters what some dumbass talking shit thinks, but if Boom is soo bad then why's he leading everyone in his weekly challenge? And if he won't hit 50% for the year, why the fuck is he doing it in his weekly posts AND his challenge??? Talk out of your ass more handicapper and whoever his butt buddy was that chimed in after him. Boom has a big following and seems like he gets along with pretty much everyone. We ain't going anywhere just because of one idiot's claims. And by the way Handicapper, you say Boom's making himself look bad but I doubt anyone would give a shit what he says to you. You're the one making yourself look bad. I also don't think anyone would mind if you were banned from this site for good. However, Boom would be greatly missed!

Thanks for the picks Boom. Let's have a big week 8, looking forward to more picks.

4.  How good is this Clemson team? I'm being serious here. These guys just refuse to lose. Down 18 in the second half and they wont quit. Actually they come back and not only win but cover the spread and beat Maryland by double digits. I know you guys here in the south and on the east coast know who Sammy Watkins is. But the whole country needs to start paying attention. He IS the best true 18 year old freshman I have ever seen in my entire life. This Clemson offense is a machine. Where the hell are you guys that were giving me shit about Clemson not being able to cover against Maryland? How did that work out for you? Case Closed, I win...again.

Clemson has the "it factor" much as Auburn did last year and I will be surprised if they lose a game this year. They are talented, have undeniable chemistry  and no deficit bothers them because they know their leader will bring them back. This will be a year to remember for you guys. Unfortunately, much as Auburn for me in 2004, this team will not get the chance it deserves to play for a championship with at least 4 teams most lokely going undefeated.

Having said that, if it were a fair system Clemson would probably win against most anyone they played in a play-off, at least have a real good shot. I realize this will bring negative comments from LSU and Bama fans among others and non-believers in Clemson, but they proved more in the comeback against Maryland than anyone has this season, all teams have one or two of these, the best pass the test. The one's that respond as Clemson did down so much to Auburn and this week Maryland, forcing their will when it mattered, rarely lose the biggest of games.

Would love to see them play for the NC, but won't happen this year even if they go undefeated, to many others teams finally blow up the BCS this year, at least expose it further, they refuse to blow up the joke of all sports and a plus one is not much better, unfortunately for a deserving Clemson team as time will show...

That is ignorant, he is not better than Luck period on any level. Explain to me how a guy is better at a lower level than a guy will be at a higher level, while both playing in the same level at the same time. You guys see him lighting up arena ball defenses and come to this conclusion, Pac 12 defenses are not much better but you should be able to tell by and far that Luck is better than any QB in college, much less this one.

 I almost fell over laughing after reading this post. I hate all these douchebags who come into other people's threads and bash them. I also find it funny these retards never post any plays of their own!

Hey Boom thanks for posting your thoughts, writeups, and picks every week. I hate all these assholes who come into threads and bash your picks but they have no picks of their own! Its alright to disagree with someone on a pick but these clowns aren't even respectful. These guys are all internet tough guys but if we saw them in real life they would be HUGE pussies!

I can hear your mind twirling...  Luck's defensive squad is way better than the Bears and therefore, the bears can find themselves playing from behind, or having to think they soon will be.  Luck got picked last week and couldn't even muster up better than a 3 point lead over freakin' Wash St first half last week...  Quit with the BCS and other bullshit and realize you have an opinion, one that most in here would rather not read about.  On behalf of a lot of folks in this thread, i invite you to be a man and start your own thread and we'll all come and see you to chat about all things YOU care about...  Oh and do you have any, and I mean ANY, value to add to Boom's thread???

I really liked the top 10 Boom.  You gotta give Wisconsin some love though.  They are crushing people and will continue to run it up whenever they have the chance.  Brett B doesn't give a crap about opponents and knows how to step on their throats.  Mich St is going to get buried this week IMO.

Best of luck with your picks.  Sure wish I didn't have to weed through 8 pages of garbage to read a few good posts though.  I love degenterates who have a bad week and come and take it out on the message boards by attacking others.

yes.....

But I think that we need some help there is no doubt about that. I do think that a team like Clemson would be really dangerous in a Plus one format. Alabama and LSU are on a different level right now than anyone else, but I think Clemson could hang with the rest.

Good to see you around... Where ya been

Im actually all over Clemson (the money train this year, 6-1 ATS) & GTech at plus pts is just way to much value.  Im leaning USF, but really questioning ND.  What do you see in them this week?  I was leaning the opposite.

You can't have any value in this thread if you disagree in any way with the OP, which is ridiculous when it comes to discussing capping games.

You want to talk about playing from behind for Baylor, getting scored on at a fast pace usually helps your offense do the same to the other defense, that is how the Big 12 teams have been playing for years. Playing behind will mean you are facing more base soft zone defenses and pile up more stats than you would if you were playing from ahead or tied, especially against the defenses he faces. To think that Luck is not better than this quarterback in every way makes absolutely no sense at all, if he were better why WOULDN'T he be drafted higher for the next level and expected to play for sure at all in the league? Luck is the best QB at the college level, for every reason.

I will only address the above captioned point to save space…   No It doesn’t….  if RG III’s supporting cast is not able to operate at the same level as Luck’s (offense and defense), how can you say the outcome is purely based on the single player?  I would pick Griffin to run my team at this level against an absolutely similar Luck run team at this level and I suspect the Griffin team would win…  BTW, I love your usage of the “we” card when referring to FLO…  I assure you, there is no roster spot nor coaching spot for you my friend…  I have no issues as to whether I add value to this forum or not, I believe I do, I have yet to see many (read any) say you do…  GL to most in Boom’s thread…

Boom, just wanna say you're doing a great job.

But it makes you wonder why the haters come on here if they don't like what you post!?

If you don't like what he writes/posts, don't click on his thread!  Guess they have nothing else better to do!

I just want someone to explain in detail how Griffin is a better QB than Andrew Luck.
