The schedule this year is completely pathetic. A loss in the ACC and any more than 1 loss overall is absolutely unacceptable.

at Stanford -- stop it, they haven't won more than 4 games in a season since 2018.

FAMU -- scrimmage

at Wake -- This might be a somewhat tricky game, weeknight road games simply always are, for some reason. Wake probably had the quietest 9-win season in America last year, but let's get real here, there's absolutely no reason for Mario to fall asleep here. I would imagine we'll be a 12 point favorite. We are on the road on a short week, but Wake also plays the previous Saturday like we do, and they play a P4 team (Purdue) while we play a scrimmage against FAM. Honestly, this game will tell me a lot about the season. I expect us to smoke Stanford because it's game 1 and Mario has already said we're heading out there several days before the game. We'll be ready to make the season debut. FAM is nothing. But this game, I'm intrigued to see the focus. If we're a bunch of professionals, we take all the energy out of that stadium instantly and roll. If we haven't learned from previous years, we let them hang around with an uninspired effort and make it a game. I really like Wake's coach, by the way.

Central Michigan -- 30 point win

at Clemson -- I really have no idea here. What is Clemson going to be? I'll be watching them intently the first month. This could be a tough game against a talented team, or Clemson could be totally dead.

FSU -- Stop it.

Pitt -- I have zero concern about this game at home, although Heintschel is a good player.

at UNC -- Some people are saying this might be a trap game, and the only reason I'll even remotely entertain that is because it's the week before ND. And we know UNC, for some reason, gives us problems traditionally. But we are so much more talented than this team it's not even funny.

at ND -- No reason to break this one down, we know the deal.

Duke -- Mensah will throw for 500 yards, we win by 20.

VT -- Another one to watch, how will VT be in Franklin's first year? Another game we'll be favored by 10+ though.

Boston College -- One of the 5 worst P4 teams in the country.

Not really sure what more you could want from a schedule. A month for your team to jell against subpar opponents. End the year with 3 home games. Only 1 game that could even be remotely cold (although hopefully we smashed that narrative last year). A truly pathetic list of teams and collections of talent. Zero excuses this year.
 
CJ Carr hype train based off his numbers vs terrible teams will be off the charts as the season moves ahead.

The only somewhat fair complaint is the number of weekday games. But when you're playing some of these awful teams, who cares which day of the week we play them.
