- UVA and Louisville are the only teams with a BYE week before playing Miami. Both are Miami home games.
- Both Pitt and FSU play Syracuse the week before Miami.
We don’t need top 10 talent to run the coastal. This team should not lose more than one game based on its schedule and talent, even considering lack of depth in places. More than 2 is a disappointment.I dont think you get how hard it is to go undefeated OP. And we dont really have top-5 or even top-10 talent. More than everyone but UF/FSU but still in the 15-20 range.
I think we'll be well-coached and get good QB play, but our depth is very thin at a lot of positions, so injuries will really hurt us.
I think we should go 10-2, but I'd set the realistic over/under at 9.5
And since about 2003 we’ve had a lot of disappointment. Hopefully decent coaching will be the difference.Agree with you but we have said this each year since about 1983.
I think what made Tech a tricky game was they were running the option, IMHO. I'm holding the horses on the optimism until I see the Florida game, I drank the kool aid last year. The schedule is really easy though, we should be playing Clemson.Think we handle Pitt and Virginia. FSU is obviously always a dogfight no matter how bad they are. I could see Florida, FSU, and maybe Ga Tech as tough ones.

I use to think this and then we did beat FSU and lost to many others.Beat Florida and FSU and anything else is just gravy.
2 losses one to UF and someone else is what I expect.
i know we win the coastal though but dont know who we will cough up that second loss tooThis is my thought process but I’m having trouble figuring out who the 2nd loss will be to.
I’d assume a letdown would be on the road so that limits it to FSU (who I can’t see beating us with Taggart), Pitt, Duke, and UNC.
We've had the Dnofrio offense the last 3 years and folks still do not appreciate what our defense did most of the season. I could care less about Wisconsin. We should be FINALLY be able to pin our eyes back and murder some of these teams because Manny is going to run up the score like Jimmy used too.
Anything less than 11-1 is an abject failure.
The only team we play that had fewer than 5 losses last year is UF. We leave the state 3 times and have I believe and do not quote me on this 3 bye-weeks. 11-1. We score 28 points a game last year and we're 11-1.
I think we are acting like UF is an easy win too much.
