22-0, no excuses!
Realistically speaking: IF we beat UF we should steamroll the rest of the schedule, we play basically 2 tough games all year vs UF @ Orlando & vs FSU @ Doak (and that game is only tough because it's a rivalry game).
Va Tech is going to be awful this year, even worse than last year, UVA will not be a 8-4/5 team either they're definitely going to take a step back. GTech will take about 2-3 years to completely transition from being a gimmick Triple Option team to a traditional regular Offense.
The wildcard will be how fast Mack Brown can get UNC back to sea level being a competitive team, their Offense with Phil Longo will be sneaky good if they can find a QB, but they don't have much talent overall & specifically on Defense.
Satterfield is a good coach, Lville will not be as bad as they've been towards the end of the Petrino era, but I def think we beat them handily this year at home.
@ Heinz field vs Pitt is 100% a trap game, they're not more talented than us by any stretch of the imagination, but The Narduzzi lives for the opportunity to catch teams slippin & get upset W's. That game will be Pitt's Super Bowl.
11-1/10-2 Reular season, we win the Coastal, lose the ACC title, but win our bowl game. IMO everything hinges on UF, we lose that game expect a 8-4/7-5 type season, we play up to our capabilities & beat UF it's sky's the limit.
