Good thing for us the ACC is BBall conference. Besides FSU, I don't see a school that can consistently be a Top 15 team. And who else is truly dedicated to FB beside FSU, Clemson, and VT? I think it is fair to expect a bad year to be 6-6, a good year to be 10-2, and the typical year to be 8-4. No reason why we cannot do what BC did from 2005-2010 in the ACC.

2005 5-3 final rank 17/18
2006 5-3 final rank 20
2007 6-2 went to ACC CG final rank 10/11
2008 5-3 went to ACC CG
2009 5-3
2010 4-4

If BC can do it, we certainly can as well. If we go to 9 conf games, I expect SU to schedule OOC: one cupcake, one 1AA, and one BCS team. So we would be playing 10 BCS games a year. Even if we go 4-6 against those teams we should get to 6-6 overall and a Bowl. No reason to have a season worse than that.

I think Marrone can certainly pull off those expectations. And I think asking more of any HC is asking too much in today's environment. Remember McNabb had ZERO Top 15 finishes. Graves had two. McPherson had two. 1987-1992 were awesome times at SU but back then SU did not have the deck stacked against us.
