The hype has been building for N.C. State’s football season.
One ESPN analyst thinks the Wolfpack could be an “under-the-radar” team to crash the College Football playoff. Another ESPN analyst, working for the SEC Network, upped the ante by putting the Wolfpack — not Clemson or Florida State — in his preseason top four playoff projection.
In a move that will endear him to a leery fanbase, N.C. State coach Dave Doeren went on ESPN’s “SportsCenter” on Tuesday morning and refused to add any fuel to the hype machine.
“I appreciate all the things that people are saying,” Doeren said on SportsCenter.
