Ranking our remaining schedule

I think Clemson is tougher than most. Not really worried about unc and think we can beat fsu but that’ll be a tough one too.

If we continue to take care of business we’ll win the other games

You should be worried about UNC. They’ve beat us four years straight including one of the worst home losses ever a couple years back.

I feel confident we can take them this year, but until we do, they’re a problem.

Clemson should have beat FSU. They missed a 29 yd FG that would have most likely won the game and FSU had a defense score that is rarely duplicated.
Duke beat Clemson and should have beaten ND. They have the best resume in the ACC through the first 1/3 of the season. Too bad for them it looks like their QB is out.
 
I believe your tiers are accurate. I was worried about UL until I saw how NC State disrupted them, which we can replicate. IMO, we're in Tier 1. So if we win the games we should win, we at least win 9.

And I don't see enough separation within the Tier 1 teams that we shouldn't win 1 or more of those, which means we're in the right position to get a shot at the ACCCG. And then, who knows? Hate hate hate the Domers. But I'm glad Duke lost for that reason.

Safety, QB, Center

DL- we are winning with 3 starters out
OL- overall we have depth but center would mean major changes

Without Kam/James- we are in trouble vs better teams.
Without TVD- yikes

I think we are deeper than people think in the secondary at both CB and Safety. DL, at Tackle we are pretty deep, fully agree on depth at DE. OL, I like our depth there. At QB, yes would love to have one more year under both the backups.

We have good depth but losing an AA at safety would hurt when we play against better teams. The good news of having Kam out the last two games is that Harris has gotten a ton of reps. This is also why having Lee out for almost 2 quarters against Temple isn’t a bad deal. We got to see Ryan get some quality snaps with the 1s.
 
I would say 8-4 most likely, maybe an outside chance at 9-3. Big improvement from last year, not quite enough to get over the hump at FSU and vs Clemson. Probably lose at UNC and maybe at BC (cold game to end the year).
 
Good work Bevo. I would switch the strength estimate between UNC and FSU, even after considering all the key players, but especially the Maye factor.

Maye is good but I don’t think UNC would be able to beat LSU week 1. **** I’m not fully convinced UNC can beat A&M…not after how A&M has handled Auburn/Arkansas ( Georgia didn’t even handle auburn the way A&M did) if I see A&M beat Bama this week I will be thoroughly convinced that we beat the hardest team on our schedule already…match up FSU/UNC and Clemson against this A&M team and I’d lean on A&M…

I know everyone is optimistic, and we have played well so far. But there will be a game…a game where nobody predicts it, but the offence or defence, or both don’t show up.
Mario has a history of dropping very winnable games and he is historically terrible ATS. Lots of teams drop games, that’s why cfb is so good. But can we win that ugly game against NC state or Louisville or even GT this week?
Just be ready that that game is coming.

Tier Rating the Rest of the Schedule

Cut to the chase, y’all know how this works, we got teams left to play. Rather than give a banal “win-loss” prediction, I am going to put each team we play in a proverbial row on a list, assigning them a letter grade. You will disagree with me. You will be wrong, but you will disagree...

I like Washington's chances in the PAC 12. Most balanced team out west from what I've seen. Big 10 big 3 will sort itself out and until Georgia actually loses hard to not call them the best. Teams like FSU, Texas, and Miami have a chance to make this year's playoff & NY6 field very interesting if they keep it up.

Beat FSU in Tally, and I'll be happy. That and a reasonable 3 other wins gives an 8-4 season, also possible ACC Championship game and a decent bowl appearance. Of course, I would like to see Canes win out. But, I am a sandbagger from way back.

Obviously! Cuz Yu got us going 4-4 da rest of the way.
