Why are people blaming the ACC for the early bye week?  Isn't that on SU?  Did they tell us to keep the 2nd weekend open just in case?

I wish we had originally had Pitt/BC alternating home away.  But it sounds like the whole thing will be blown up some day anyway so I guess it doesn't really matter.

I don't think this schedule is so bad.  You can't change the teams, so the order of them doesn't matter much to me.  If we don't start out 3-0, that's on us.  If we don't start out 4-1, that's on us (Louisville is at the Dome on a Friday night early in the season without Teddy and without Charlie Strong, do people view that as one of the tougher games?).

FSU blows us out, ok, check.  But then we need to beat Wake Forest.  I would hope 2013 showed us how this team can react to a blowout.  So if we're not 5-2, that's on us.

Go to Death Valley, probably another tough game, although shouldn't be quite as strong a Clemson team as this year.  5-3.  If we're not 6-3 after returning home to play NC State, that's on us.

Then you end with 3 complete toss ups.  We could win them all, we could lose them all.  Ending on the road twice sucks, but if people didn't see that coming, then I don't think they paid attention to 2013.  The Superfans will be on Thanksgiving break, if that helps.

We're in a tougher league now, schedules look tougher.  We'll step up to the challenge.  ACC doing us no favors comments are off base.  ACC did us a huge favor, they saved us from purgatory.  Having to play FSU and Clemson over 3 weeks isn't a reason to start questioning them.
