My prediction is not really a prediction, but a "hoped for" scenario.
We need to beat FSU. Or, at least make this a last possession game. Then clean up GSU, Cuse, and VMI. No let downs. 3-1 or 4-0 looks pretty good to me at this point.
UL will be the next really interesting game. It's on the road and their first real game. If we are going to be good, this game will be where we show it.
Then we have Duke at home after an off week. We need to take care of business. It starts to get really hard after this week.
Traveling to Chapel Hill is not as fearsome as it used to be because UNC doesn't seem to live up to preseason hype. Carolina could be undefeated when we play them because they don't play a single tough game prior to that weekend. I want us to be, at worst, 5-2 after this game.
The Irish are loaded according to what I have read, so the game at MBS will require an upset. I don't expect it to happen.
If we can split our last four games it will be a good season. at worst 7-5 and maybe 8-4. I don't hold out much hope for 9 wins. The last five games are a gauntlet.
Syracuse is a tough one to gauge. Playing up there blows. And while they haven’t recruited HS well at all, they’ve done well in the portal. McCord got cut from OSU but he’s still one of (if not the) highest rated QBs in the entire conference coming out of HS.
We have the better roster but it’s certainly not a gimme up there. They’re probably a lock for 8+ wins with that joke of a schedule too.
