I’m torn between 7-5 & 8-4.
09/01/23 (W) 45-13 Miami (Ohio)
09/09/23 (W) 17-16 Texas A&M
09/14/23 (W) 52-10 Bethune Cookman
09/23/23 (W) 48-20 Temple
10/07/23 (W) 28-21 Georgia Tech
10/14/23 (L) 21-35 North Carolina
10/21/23 (L) 17-33 Clemson
10/28/23 (W) 24-21 Virginia
11/04/23 (W) 35-25 NC State
11/11/23 (L) 28-45 Florida State
11/18/23 (W) 28-27 Louisville
11/24/23 (W) 41-17 Boston College
8-4/9-3.
9-3 is contingent on us having:
1) Fully healthy and on point TVD.
2) Minimal injuries.
3) Young guys stepping up.
4) Some lucky bounces.
Since all of that is unlikely to happen, 8-4 is the most likely outcome.

My thoughts:
Mario is a proven HC. 35-13 as HC at Oregon. He lost one home game in his Oregon tenure.
1.)TVD back in an offense he is comfortable with. Spring game 2023 looked much different offensively vs. spring game 2022. TVD had 289 yards passing with 3 TD's. Several plays of 20 yards or more, explosives.
2.)Rebuilt OL with 3 all conference players(Zion, Cohen, Lee). 2 five star freshman, and a returning true sophomore (Cooper) that got a lot of valuable experience.
3.)RB group with Better talent and depth
4.)WR group in in better shape with Young, George, Restrepo, Smith, Ladson, Ray Ray, Harrell.
5.)New DC that runs a defense better suited with our undersized personel. Exotic blitzes and formations. Steele is a good DC, but he works better with bigger DL for his more read/react scheme and less blitzing.
6.)PFF says we have a top 10 edge in Mesidor, a top 10 DT in Taylor, and the top safety in Kitchens. High level pieces to work off of.
7.)LB play should be best since Quarterman and Pink era.
2 teams that are better right now on our schedule is Clemson and FSU.
Texas A&M probably still has more talent position by position than us, but with their prehistoric offense we can win that game at home.
I think we finally overcome UNC this season. Maye struggled down the stretch, and that team lost entire secondary and best offensive weapon in Downs, and a very good OC in Longo.
I'm going 9-3.
OK........BYE!!!!
Possibly true with the roster not done imo. But we can get 8 as well. That's my rangeWe win 6 games
