Slow down young Jedi's.

We have BARELY beaten three bad ACC teams plus one FCS team. The one good team we played tore us a new one.

Are the games winnable?!? Yes. Do we have a prayer at 4-0? NFW. Even 3-1 is a stretch. I would be thrilled at 2-2, especially if those two wins are against UNC and VT, because that means we would likely win the Coastal.

Do not set yourselves up for a huge letdown.

I'm not setting myself up for anything other than enjoying this ride.

But I've got one question for the doubters = Purdue?

How come we aren't hearing anything about that game? Because everyone is buying into this meme that ND are back. I say not. Beating Michigan, Purdue, Michigan State, and Navy gets you top 10?????? Puhleeze......spare me.

GO CANES!!!!!

I think 2-2 is likely, 3-1 is within reach, 4-0 is unlikely but still possible. I would be OK with 2-2, happy with 3-1, and I would be blowing loads every minute for a week if we went 4-0 over this stretch.
 
Before the ncstate game 2-2 would have been good. Post ncstate game 4-0. We are better than the scores indicate.

2-2 is fantastic. I'm honestly fine with 1-3. It's all about 6 wins this year, which we should be fine. Win UNC, then you have 5 wins looking at winnable games against UVa, Duke, And USF. 8 is a distinct possibility if you just get the UNC game, which most agreed was the high end of this team before the season started

This. Still hope we go 4-0 though
 
To clarify, I want the team to win, I hope they win, they have a chance to win, but.....While ND may not deserve their ranking, they are closer to KSU in talent than they are to the joke teams of the ACC that we have beaten.

No need to explain. You are talking logically.

There's no room for that in my world this week.

I told the others that are watching the game with me to dress like you are going to a Gallagher show. I'm going to be bouncing around flinging my own poo everywhere.

4 and ******* 0.....I thought we all agreed we were ALL IN on this team. I feel like we have to start a revolution almost, a movement to get Cane Nation believing again...

4-0. I was telling my 10 year old son about Notre dame, in anticipation of heading to Chicago this weekend. It only brought back memories of pure hatred. We are heading to Chicago to win. I expect to win.

Imo K State would maul ND too. I'm not overblowing our abilities but rather doubting the those of ND.

I'm just not convinced they are back. We shall see but I think FSU is a much higher hill to climb. 3-1 is more realistic. If 2-2 happens we are still sitting pretty according to the mass expectations for this team at the start of the year.

This is my exact thought. 2-2 over Notre Dame and UNC is not as good as winning 2 of the 3 games against acc teams
 
You guys are smoking crack. We should go 1-3... 0-4 is not unthinkable.

We have about a 5% chance of winning in Chicago. Notre Dame is coming off a bye week, they've had a bunch of extra practices and time to rest up. They're playing at home. It'll be cold. We're a "finesse" passing S Florida team. There will be a big, hostile crowd... more than anything this team has seen before. Morris has a tendency to overthrow his targets when he gets jumpy. They have an elite front 7, and probably the best linebacker in college football.

UNC is the most winnable game of the 4. However, they're a well-coached and talented group, and they are more veteran than we are. This one is 50/50.

FSU just out-classes us right now. They are a talented, veteran team, and they deserve every bit of their ranking. They are where I hope we will be at some point next year. I give us a 10 percent chance, just because it's a rivalry game and it's at home.

Va Tech looks bad right now, but they always blow stupid OOC games, and then turn it on in the ACC when it counts. This one is 50/50.
