there's a lot of people outside the u that dont know the depth of whats happening here.
5 losses last year. Lost 3 games by 3 or less.
Sam howell and kenny pickett are gone.
Clemson is hoping that one of these two new qbs pan out or else their stuck with DJ this year.
I believe that all the below is going to get us past those 3 points:
One of the best ads in the country who's focused on being the best at all sports.
Mario who is family n has the knowledge and determination for elite level football.
Deep pockets with ruiz
Probably pound for pound, the best staff in football.
We FINALLY have coaches who can pull out our kids true potential.
Almost whole team from last year is coming back with many good addition from this year
A&M n clemson will be the real tests. If we have one loss and still win acc title game...we in the final 4 most likely.
These aren't my expectations but they are slowly getting there with seeing everything we're doing.
We had only 5 losses last year with the staff that we had...and 3 of them we're by 3 or less.
Have to learn to win big before winning big. This group isn't there year—while other programs absolutely are.
Need to beat the likes of North Carolina first, not lose winnable ACC games, take the Coastal for the SECOND time—and then win the average ACC for the first time since joining in 2004.
Georgia got to a title game with Smart in 2017 and lost. That off-season, they dumped $200,000,000 into their program to chase what Bama was doing. In 2021, they finally caught up—and the Dawgs were coming off a solid 15-year run under Mark Richt before going next level, with Smart getting a title year six.
Miami at best is going 10-2 this regular season and should get a rematch with Clemson in the ACC title game—where a win puts them an unthinkable 11-2—but arguably still outside the top four for the playoffs.
Realistically, probably a 9-3 season—or 10-3 after an ACC title game loss, with a shot at 11-3 and a bowl win—all of which would be magical after three years of Diaz's incompetence and late-season skids—as well as 16 years of irrelevance, outside of Richt's one little magical season in 2017.
