Duke and Virginia are so putrid that they are pretty much automatic wins. UNC and USF are bad, but they aren't so bad that they couldn't beat us if we play poorly. I've still penciled in ND, FSU and Va Tech as losses unless we somehow improve dramatically. So I see anywhere from 6-6 on the low end to 8-4 at the high end. Not bad.
That's what we said about UVa last year too. You never underestimate a team. We have a very young team that can sputter any given week. We are also very thin at many key positions. UVa, UNC, and USF are all teams that can beat us if we sleep on them.
USF or UNC at home are games we should win imo. I dont think its unrealistic to expect 9-3 amd dropping one we arent supposed to and gonig 8-4
6-6 would be a terrible collapse imo.
VT sucks. Why should that be a loss??
9-3 IS unrealistic.
