Yikes!!!! 8-4 year one isn't good enough for me. We should have a really good offense despite a new OC and potential scheme change. We'll have the best QB in the league and stocked quite nicely at all skill positions. The offensive line should be solid to better than 2021 with Rivers and Campbell returning as starters. That's Nelson, Rivers, Clark, Scaife, and Campbell. Pretty **** good. The defense will be a concern, but teams will need to score 40+ points to beat us.
The Coastal is going to be even weaker next year than this year which is why 8-4 isn't good enough. Pitt, UVA, and UNC (assuming Howell declares) will all be breaking in new QBs. Duke, UVA, and VT will all be breaking in new coaching regimes. I'll give you losses to TAMU and Clemson, but where are the other 2 losses coming from?
