Anyone want to take a full or partial stab at it? I'll give it a shot later on.

Apparently, at least.
Ponder is very good and deserves publicity for the Heisman. Now, if FSU can get just a semblance of a defense than he will have an excellent chance to win it. A better defense equals more punts which equals more possessions for the offense which in turn will equal more scoring and better stats. In short, I can't wait for the season to start.

I think he has the skills, no doubt, but it's questionable if FSU can put a good enough team around him to merit consideration.

This guy is gonna be nasty (tied for 2nd last year in Interceptions). DeAndre McDaniel, Clemson's SS, who is a hard hitting ball hawk. In a way, he kinda reminds me of the late Sean Taylor.

Is he also a form tackler? As Taylor Mays proved last year, hard hits and INTs can only get you so far.
From what I've seen yeah. I mean, he's had his share of mistakes, missed tackles, etc...but he's a very well rounded player, and I'd look for him to have a great Senior year and become a 1st round pick next year (probably would have been 3rd round this year).

So I'm a Clemson homer, but in no way am I thinking they are a top 10 team this year. However, NO ONE is giving them much love, and I saw one magazine ranking them as low as 67 (or something like that). I really like that this team is like Rodney Dangerfield and getting no respect! Folks think that b/c CJ has moved on the team will suck, but I think we will be just fine and dandy. For starters, we're returning almost the entire D, which finished top 20, and we're returning 4 of 5 starters on the O-Line. That right there is enough of a damn solid foundation. Add that to 2 very talented running backs (one power, one speed), good Tight Ends, and I think this will be a very dangerous team. The big problem is that our QB happens to be great in Baseball and was a 1st round pick for the Rockies. Should he decide to stay at Clemson one more year, I think they will be back in the ACC Championship game. If not, there will be growing pains at that position, but a 9-3 record is still very doable.
Two games for Ohio State really scare the shit out of me.
@Wisconsin and @Iowa
The Wisconsin game more since it's at night and the Buckeyes have had trouble there, though Pryor won in Madison two years ago. The Badgers should be damn good this year. If tOSU can win those two they should finish undefeated. They shouldn't lose to anyone else on that schedule. No more games like that Purdue game last year.

Sources: Marvin Austin expected to be suspended by NCAA University of North Carolina defensive tackle under NCAA investigation
There’s growing concern from University of North Carolina athletic department officials that star defensive tackle Marvin Austin will ultimately be suspended for his entire senior year due to alleged NCAA violations involving extra benefits from agents, middlemen and marketing representatives, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.
No action has been taken at this time by the NCAA as they continue to gather information.
“The next time we will see Marvin Austin is at the NFL scouting combine,” our source predicted.
Our source also predicted that Austin might not be the only North Carolina player to face NCAA punishment for alleged rule violations.
According to a source, NCAA investigators interviewed Austin, wide receiver Greg Little, safety Deunta Williams, cornerback Kendric Burney and linebackers Bruce Carter and Quan Sturdivant early last week.
The NCAA has requested phone records and asked players to detail all interaction involving agents.
Austin is close friends with University of South Carolina tight end Weslye Saunders, another NFL draft prospect who’s under investigation by NCAA officials for alleged rule violations involving agents.
We’ve been told that Austin and Saunders have been told by their respective coaches to no longer associate with each other.
A source said that Austin and Saunders have been regularly comparing notes on agents and marketing representatives throughout the recruiting process, including what inducements the various businesses are offering to try to win them over.
The players have been talking to try to obtain the best “deal” possible from agents, according to a source.
There have been rampant unconfirmed rumors about money changing hands.
The NCAA wants to know who paid for travel and lodging for multiple trips to Miami, travels which were first mentioned on Austin’s Twitter account. Austin has since taken down the Twitter account.
We’re told that Saunders was also on at least one trip to Miami as well as several other players.
The NCAA is also interested in Austin’s travel back and forth to Washington, D.C., his hometown.
Austin has been questioned by investigators about driving a car that belongs to former North Carolina defensive tackle Kentwan Balmer, a San Francisco 49ers 2008 first-round draft pick.
Balmer is represented by Gary Wichard, a longtime friend of Carolina defensive line coach John Blake. Wichard has denied meeting with Austin.
"I've never talked to him about representing him," Wichard told the Raleigh News & Observer. "I've never gone down there, and I never will."
The North Carolina campus has become a hot spot for agents, middlemen and marketing representatives, especially after several players decided to return to school.
If the players get caught lying to NCAA investigators, they can have their eligibility revoked. That’s what happened with Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant.
Under NCAA guidelines, the governing body for college athletics has the options of either permanently revoking a player’s eligibility, suspending a player temporarily and/or having the player repay the agent
Junior defensive end Robert Quinn has emerged as a potential top 10 draft pick if he declares early for the draft. Austin, Carter, Little, Burney, Charles Brown and several others are rising quickly on NFL draft charts.
We’re told that former North Carolina cornerback Chris Hawkins is heavily involved in the recruiting process for Burney, which has raised a few eyebrows from agents courting the players.
It’s unclear which agency Hawkins, who briefly played for the Washington Redskins and the Sasketchewan Roughriders, will wind up steering players to.
Some agents are avoiding recruiting at UNC until the situation calms down while others are intensifying their efforts as the allegations continue to surface.

Whew! Clemson just got some great news! Kyle Parker, the starting QB (and right fielder) who was drafted 1st round by the Colorado Rockies, has decided to return and play football. Couple this with two very good running backs, and 4 returning starters on the O-Line, and Clemson has an excellent shot at taking the ACC.

Still excited for him to be a Rockie one day, hopefully. We have a good track record of former football players from the southeast part of the country playing baseball for us.
