This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Sure, but it is an attractive destination for a coach. by tdiddy07

There's a big time atmosphere to sell to recruits even if the performance has only recently justified that. It is driving distance to a lot of talent.

There's good reason to think the next coach might prefer Clemson over either Miami or FSU.

I think the bigger stretches are relying on the second tier other than Va Tech to be ranked. One of BC/Pitt/Louisville could do it with some regularly. But I think it's much more likely you could see the first tier all in the top ten several straight years than you would see all the second tier in the top 25 several straight years.
