8 conference games left and with how things look we have a Great shot at reaching the ACC championship game (who would’ve thought this was realistic lol) but I decided to look into how our schedule sets up from Easiest to hardest
Tier 3
8. Vs Virginia
7. Vs Georgia Tech
6. @ B.C
- These games we should be winning by 28+ without too much effort, all these teams STRUGGLE on defense, have QB issues, very little depth and commit costly penalties constantly. Minimum we get to 7 wins this year.
Tier 2
5. @ Nc State
4. Vs Louisville
- Nc state has a solid defense, Louisville has a solid offense, both have solid QBs/O-Lines but louisvilles offense has looked subpar at times (against Nc state, 2nd half of Indiana, 1st half of GTech) and Nc state seems to lack something on offense to make them a true threat. Armstrong just hasn’t been it this year. I expect we win both these games by roughly 13-16 Points
Tier 1
3. Vs Clemson
2. @UNC
1. @ FSU
- THESE are the program defining wins, Clemson may not be highly ranked when we play them but they’re similar to A&M where their talent is still off the charts and matches up with us evenly. Their offensive scheme leaves ALOT to be desired and they seem to lack WR playmakers for the most part. It is very possible though that they go 9-3 and lose to the top 3 Teams in the ACC in FSU/Duke/Miami, i don’t believe we need a perfect game but we cannot afford to commit A&M styled mistakes. I see us winning by roughly 7
- UNC to me will only be tougher due to it being a road environment. Maye is great don’t get me wrong but if Kevin Steele can hold him in check last year than I have a feeling Guidry can as well…if it wasn’t for Gattis being an abomination and Jaylan knighton forgetting how to hold onto the football we win that game last year. I’m interested to see how we respond to what will be our first true road test with a real atmosphere. It’s hard to get a full gage on them after seeing how: Minnesota/S.C/App State and Pitt are a combined 9-11… Syracuse will be a good test to measure where they truly are. Until further notice though I must put this as a toss up. But Miami has the best signature win out of the two FWIW
- FSU…undoubtedly will be our toughest test, most likely college game day, 7:30 PM ABC Primetime and I feel that both teams seasons will be on the line going into that one. Seeing FSU struggle in back to back weeks leads me to wonder how dominant they really are, (especially after watching LSU allow 55 to Ole miss), that game will come down to health. We have Kinchens/Mesidor/Citizen/Deen/Arroyo all banged up and I fully expect all of them to be available by the time FSU comes. It just a matter of who does FSU lose and who will we lose between now and then…at full strength this is a DOG FIGHT. Wouldn’t be surprised if FGs are the difference makers…
