Firstly, we need to acknowledge how much progress we have made in regards to public perception. The fact that right now we are favored in 9 games pre season (albeit some by the skin of our teeth) is a data point which shows positivity. It’s a good thing regardless of us not playing a down yet this season.

Moving on some more notes about this season’s schedule.

1. We need to go 4-0 to set us up to hit or be closest to our ceiling (I think 9 wins is ceiling)
2. If we can steal one game during the 3 game gauntlet then we are positioned very well to come close to our ceiling also. I think we all want to see 1-2 record during that stretch and anything more is simply setting us up for a remarkable year. I just do not see anything more then 1 game won in that stretch.
3. We have to beat wake and BC no questions about it. 
4. Pitt will be a loss on my schedule yearly until we prove that we can beat them for 2 consecutive years. They’ve owned up lately and I can’t stand it. 
5. GT is so up in the air for me. I want to say it’s a win, but late in the year on the road… 50/50 game. 
6. VT also is a 50/50. Overall I say we go 1-1 against the tech schools.

I keep coming to 7-5 or if we take 1 we “shouldn’t” like Pitt or UNC then I can see 8-4. I don’t love that Purdue game either. That game is where we find out what we are made of. 6-6 if we go 1-3 against Purdue, VT, GT and Pitt.

Essentially if we go 8-4 that’s just a great year for our program, 7-5 is a good year, and 6-6 is an okay year. Anything below is utter failure at this point.
