Gotta agree with this 10-2 prediction. And if we get a lucky bounce of the ball or a couple key turnovers, it could be 11-1. But no reason we should lose more than 2 games this year.
 
My thoughts

Bethune-Cookman - win
Southern Miss - win
@ aTm - toss up to likely loss
Middle Tenn - win
UNC - likely win
@ VT - toss up to likely loss
Duke - win
@ UVA - toss up to likely loss
FSU - win
@ GT - win
@ Clemson - very likely loss
Pitt - likely win

From this, 9-3 seems like it should be the mark of a "good" season. Six games we should NOT lose, give games that we will be in a DOG FIGHT to win, 1 game we have a puncher's chance and nothing more

0 games that we should look uncompetitive in. Zero

That said, 10-2 is what I'm looking for with 9-3 being the lowest "acceptable" year. 8-4 is underperforming.. IDC, IDC, IDC 😑

**Edit: It would be a disappointment because we'd be 2-3 or worse in games that are being played against good teams and/or adverse situations. I want us to be better than that

I don't think UM is making it to a bowl game. I thought Diaz's first season was rock bottom, but silly me to believe that things could only get better from there. All that really matters now is the recruiting class.
