I'm doing my best to avoid saying any game is a sure win or a sure loss. With our D being historically bad and our O being historically good last year - I have no idea what to expect. Case in point: We beat VaTech who finished as the coastal champ and was what top 3-4 in the conference. We lost to Wake Forest and they were better, but still pretty mediocre/bad.

If you go by just talent, I think it shakes out like:

[B]We have More Talent[/B]
CCSU
BC
WAKE
CMU
MTSU

[B]We have Equal or Close Talent[/B]
PITT
NC State

[B]We have Less Talent[/B]
Clemson
FSU
LSU
Louisville
Miami

The x-factor is clearly our system/QB and hitting that 2nd year bump Babers expects. Dungey is better or more experienced than just about every QB except Jackson at L-Vile and FSU's young guy. New systems at Pitt O, MTSU D, Wake D (new coordinator, not sure about system), and LSU O (Canada is good, so I'm not sure we get the same advantage, though it is early).

I think getting Pitt at home is very good and the easiest bell weather for bowl eligibility.
