Our schedule is fine. Currently there is a 6 year ACC cycle where we will play every Coastal team once and ND twice. SO using that as a template:

Yearly FCS and 2 yearly G5s I will be conservative here and say we should go 16-2 over that 6 year cycle vs these teams.

Yearly Clemson plus 2 games vs ND while think one win is possible over a 6 year span, I will be conservative and say 0-8. So now we are 16-10.

Yearly vs FSU we should be able to get 2 wins over the next 6 years. They are easily a few years away from being a Top 25 team again and further from being a Top 10 team. That is assuming they have the right guy as HC. So I think 2-4 is realistic and gets us to 18-14 overall.

Then we have 6 games (3 home and 3 away) yearly vs the rest of the ACC. Is it really asking too much to go .500 against Louisville, NC State, Wake, BC, Pitt, Coastal teams? But let's be conservative. At home we should easily be able to achieve 2-1 each year (12-6 over 6) so that is 30-20 overall. For the road games let's say we win one game 2/3 of the time. Which is 4-14 over 6 years getting our total to 34-34.

That leaves 4 games vs an OOC P5. If we schedule light here we should be able to go .500 but even being conservative we should go 1-3. Bringing our final 6 year total to 35-37. That will get us to a Bowl 2/3 of the time.

So being conservative a HC over the 6 year cycle should be pretty close to .500 here even with Clemson every year. That is how Wake, BC, and to a lessor extent NC State have been able to make Bowls consistently. Also this is assuming that divisions do not go away which would certainly help us.
