All we needed here has been competent coaching with the talent we get yearly.
Not that surprised at what's happening right now

I thought we would beat noles from the minute Mark got hired and already placing some $ on it with nole fans. While is thought they were drifting down, I didn't expect their collapse. The surprise is how badly a bunch of teams are doing. I assumed ND would be a barrier but now we have one game season now -- ACCCG. We "should" win the rest. I am not ready to throw $$ down against OSU or Bama -- yet.
Good point on Notre Dame too. I didn't even think to put "Notre Dame will probably have 4 losses BEFORE we even play them" into my hypothetical prognostication.
I thought FSU and ND would come in undefeated -- so much for being a football genius. It does look like the stars could be lining up for us to have shot. We have a bunch of talented new players on defense who were not touched with the fat wand by Al and who expect to win now. Can we lose a game? Sure. Should we lose to anyone before Clemson? Nope, not now. Can we beat Clemson? Do you thing the kids from last year would like a little payback? You think Mark might be a little hyped for one win to the redemption of making the playoffs the first year after being fired. Yes and Yes. I like our chances.
I'm doing my best to temper short term expectation of grandeur here but I do know that as of today we're more than likely favored in our remaining games. "As of today" is a dangerous term in relation to "eventual reality" but I'll take it as opposed to some other alternatives. Win this week, kill that monkey that's been on our back and then things start to get really serious.
I expected to be 4-0. Let's talk next week.

I would have said thank you very much Tad.
I will have what you are having.
Haha. I would have called BS especially on the notion that we'd be the Vegas favorite. Haven't seen any early lines yet but people were saying yesterday even before FSU's loss that we might be the favorite.
