To anyone trying to be objective this is way too optimistic.  Fran has only had essentially 1.5 recruiting classes to catch us up to the rest of the ACC in terms of talent.  Dino's 2022 class was rated 12/14 in the ACC and the 2023 class was 14/14.  If you mix those with Fran's 2 classes you're talking about a roster that is probably somewhere between 9th and 12th (out of 17) in the ACC in terms of talent level.

This will keep trending up as Fran has more of his classes and less of Dino into 2026 and 2027, but having an NFL QB masked a whole lot of warts.  We were 14/17 in the ACC in scoring defense this past year -- I don't think it was a bad job by Erob, I think it just reflected the general talent level of the classes Dino had brought in over the prior 4 years.  You can only mask a hole or two via the portal not revamp an entire roster, ask FSU how that worked out.

So we lose an NFL QB, have a roster that's improving but a tick below the ACC average, and have a brutal schedule.  I think 6-6 would be a great success.
