Outside of FSU and Clemson there is not much separating programs #3 to #17 (next year). Some teams have slight advantages and some teams have slight disadvantages. So their typical seasons and ceiling will be higher. But for the most part those 15 schools will be somewhere between 3-5 and 5-3 in conference most seasons. That is what our minimum goal going forward should be now that FSU and Clemson are no longer yearlies. Going 2-6 should be unacceptable even if we squeak out 6-6.

If I were to group programs by "likes":

-Clemson and FSU. The real FB schools.

-Louisville, NC State, and VA Tech. They think they are FB schools. Larger home crowds.

-Cal, GA Tech, Pitt, UNC, UVA. More academic minded schools. Smaller home crowds.

-BC, Cuse, Duke, Stanford, Wake. Private schools who are at a disadvantage.

-Miami and SMU. Private schools who are in recruiting hotbeds. Boosters can buy them teams that can challenge for the ACC CG.

Those middle 10 schools are pretty much even. The 2nd group is ahead by the slightest of margins. As a program we should be able to be close to .500 against those dozen teams. Obviously the other 4 we will lose most of the time. So 3 to 4 Ws should be our typical season.
