AP Preseason Top 25

Not very many. Or a lot.

That’s a serious answer. The non conference schedule is rough enough to expect even a pretty good team to take some Ls. If they come out of it with 1 or fewer losses then they’ll be ranked. If they take 2 or more Ls, then it will be a long time to get enough wins against a weaker ACC to get there.

The non-conference schedule seems very Izzo-ike to me this year. I'd be lying if I said I am not concerned.

Yeah, we're really loading up on meat & potatoes, and very light on cupcakes and creampuffs.

Total opposite of what we used to do.

Here's hoping it doesn't bite us in the arse - need to WIN some games against tough opponents, not just play them.

2 losses with that gauntlet of a schedule would be incredible. We have at least 6 non-conference games that are gonna be very tough. If we go 3-3 in them, I’ll be thrilled.
