Sched I would say is more difficult than ours.
GT (in Dublin could be a weird one, first game of the season type of ish)
Boston College
Memphis
Cal
SMU
Clemson
Duke
Miami
UNC
Notre Dame
Charleston So
Gator
We share the following opponents: GT, Duke, Gator, Cal
FAMU=Charleston So that is a wash.
Ball State and USF however are likely weaker than any other team on their schedule but likely compare to Memphis and BC.
Then we have Syracuse, Wake, Va Tech, and Lousiville.
Compared to Notre Dame, SMU, Clemson, UNC
Like you said they caught some lucky breaks and that is part of football. Eventually no one remembers those lucky breaks but do remember who won the game but for them to think they are on their way to another "undefeated season" is wild to me.
