Considering our ooc I think 5 and 1 is a must.We can certainly overcome a 4-2 start... but we would be blowing an opportunity at what is our most reasonable path..
Has there ever been a season where we have won every game we were favored? And lost every game we were underdogs? Of course not. We could lose Saturday and then win at Duke. Highly doubtful but strange things always happen.We can certainly overcome a 4-2 start... but we would be blowing an opportunity at what is our most reasonable path..

Unfortunately I don't have the RPI forecast tool anymore which was always pretty good to set a target at what we generally need to do at such an early date... but I would have to think like usual these past 4 years, 9-9 in the ACC may be enough. And while the back end is harder, 5-7 in those games is hardly unfathomable. (
Whether you see it or not if we get 10 wins and win one in the ACCT we’re gonna be right thereReally? I don't see it. I think 12 wins at a minimum to guarantee a bid. Anything less than 11 and we're done.
We need Boeheim to get the guys the basketball equivalent of the cut-out of the owner in Major League that the manager would strip a piece off for every win needed for the pennant. Maybe a cut-out of Nancy Cantor?

We’re going to win 13 ACC games.

I don't know about that, not with our poor OOC results. Additionally, not all wins are created equally. If we attain the vast majority of those wins against lessor teams (such as ND today, Wake, BC, Pitt, etc.) that 10 number is not very impressive, especially, again with those OOC losses we had earlier.
Where do you get this nonsense?12 wins at a minimum to guarantee a bid. Anything less than 11 and we're done.

May be weaker at the bottom, but it’s not weak at the top. Need to avoid losses to the lower half and find a way to steal a few wins from the upper tier.This is the weakest the ACC has been since SU joined it in my opinion. ND, Wake, Miami, GT, BC, Pitt, Louisville and Clemson are weaker than last year. Certainly no automatic victories against any of those teams but the only game against those teams where ESPN has us as underdogs is against Clemson at their place. We look good -- on paper.
That's exactly my viewpoint. There are still the excellent teams at the top -- Duke, NC, Virginia, VT, and possibly NC State and Florida State. But the bottom of the league is weaker than it's been in years.May be weaker at the bottom, but it’s not weak at the top.
