I think 8-4 or 9-3 is a fair prediction for them. ND, UM and Clemson are very possible losses for them.

This is where I'm at for them. Their win total is 9.5.....I'm trying to not let my bias blind me here, but I think I want to put a grand on the under. If they win 10 games, I will say Mike Norvell is one of the 10 (5?) best coaches in the country. I just can't see it. I think 9 or 8 are far more likely than 10-2.

They're only going to lose two of these games?

GT in Dublin
Memphis at Doak
SMU in Dallas
Clemson at Doak
Miami at Miami
Gator at Doak
Notre Dame in South Bend
UNC in Doak
Duke in Durham on a Friday night

That's 9 games that they are likely a 12 point favorite or less (including very possibly an outright dog vs Miami and ND). They're going 7-2 or better in those 9 games? Really? DJU is 30-10 as a starter in his career. That screams 9-3 to me.

That SMU game in Dallas is the one that interests me most. Lashley has made them a mini-Canes west. SMU is not a bad team and I am glad we don't have to play them.

I am actually surprised SMU isn't getting more pub this year.
