VT: No matter who they have at QB. Can't see them being worse than the last two seasons, and we are at Blacksburg. 50-50 shot for us is generous.
UNC: If this was a rebuilding year, and if Fedora is any good, they could pass us by in 2014. They sure improved over the year, and were playing better than us at the end. Could easilly lose, but I'll give us the W at home.
GT: Losing Vlad Lee can't hurt them. They are way overdue to beat us, and are at home. 50-50.
UVA: Awful team, awful coach, but we haven't outcoached or outplayed them yet (under Golden). Gotta say we win, as London will be a lame duck by the time of our game, no win over Miami will save him next year. W
Pitt: Lousy team, slow, uninspired coaching. We win at home. W
Duke: Will not be as good as this year, will not be in the Coastal race by the time we play them, at Miami, we get outcoached but probably win. W
Might as well be in the Coastal, as we play both and nobody else plays either team:
FSU: Loss. L
UL: Loses key players, pwns us in coaching, will be at UL and they have huge confidence, Canes may be demoralized, Loss
Middle case: We lose 1 out of VT, GT, UNC and Duke and go 5-3 (2nd or 3rd in Coastal) OR We lose 2 out of VT, GT, UNC and Duke and go 4-4 (3rd -4th)
Best case: (unlikely) 6-2 2nd in Coastal, maybe somehow 1st
Worst case: 3-5
I say we have to sweep the Coastal teams (6-0) to win it, something the Canes have not even come close to doing in a decade.
We should have won the Coastal when it was awful the last three years. Now we are basically TWO games (FSU and UL) down from the get go.
