Will GT go over or under 5.5 wins in 2024? Odds per FanDuel.
Poll included.
Agree on how you break down the opponentsIt's an interesting number. My gut says we could go 7-5 this year IF we improve our defense significantly and maintain our offensive output. We would have to run the gamut against winnable opponents (and we never seem to do that) as well as pick up 2-3 upsets along the way to win 7 games.
VMI is a win. If it isn't, we are in real trouble.
Georgia State should be a win, but it's these kinds of games that scare me. With it being a cross town team and our fan bases propensity to not show up for these types of game, this might be the highest attended game of the year in BDS and it might be close to 50% GSU fans in seats.
Syracuse should be a win, but ACC chaos is real.
Duke should be a win, but ACC chaos is real.
VT is a near peer. This game should be a toss up, leaning towards a win.
UNC, based on talent alone, should be a loss, but until they actually beat us, I'll count it as a win.
These are the 6 "easiest games on the schedule, IMO. The next 6 are all games where we could be competitive but we shouldn't be favored to win any of them. We need an upset from at least1 of these teams, and maybe 2 to beet the 5.5 number assuming we win the 5 easiest games on our schedule.
Miami, based on talent alone, should be a loss. We've won some big games against them at BDS, and this might be one, but they will also be coming in with a chip on their shoulder after last year. This one leans toward a loss.
NCSU and UL are good teams and well coached. They should be close but lean to losses.
FSU has to reload a lot, but they have some firepower to reload with. Week zero game on a different continent plays in our favor. An FSU with a playoff snub chip on their shoulder does not play in our favor. I see a close game for three quarters before they put it away.
Notre Dame is likely a loss.
uga is likely a loss.
There are no certain losses, only unlikely wins.Tough schedule. 6-6 again unless the D improves significantly. Ugag, F$U, and ND all certain losses. UNC, Miami, Ville, and NCSU all probable losses, but we pick off 1-2 of them, we always do. That’s 4-5 losses. We lose at least 1 that we should/could win. That’s where the D comes in. Good D, maybe we hold it to 5 losses.
Semantics. Have it your way.There are no certain losses, only unlikely wins.
I wasn't arguing.Semantics. Have it your way.
These percentages feel about right, for now. My thoughts:Seems about right. I lean towards 6 wins as I don't think we have done enough in the transfer portal to sure up the defense, nor do I think we will before next season. Going by percentage guesses.
FSU - 25%, GSU - 90%, Cuse - 60%, VMI - 100%, LVille - 30%, Duke - 70%, UNC - 40%, ND - 20%, VT - 50%, Miami - 40%, NC State - 40%, UGA - 5%
Total: 5.65 wins. Round up to 6. Its a tough schedule.
I think having Lockett playing regularly will make a big difference. In limited duty last year he proved a real disrupter.Santucci & company might be a massive upgrade, but our defense might be worse unless we pull in some ballers on defense
Yes to everything but this. They had a great recruiting year in 2023 and Riley Leonard is the real deal. I'm penciling them in to compete for the national championship.- ND looked good but was inconsistent last year. Gave tOSU all they could handle, but struggled with a mid Duke team and lost to the worst Clemson team in almost a decade. We don't know what '24 ND looks like yet but I'd guess better than 20%.
Based on the preseason polls, the media would agree with you. I'm just not convinced Marcus Freeman has it yet. He's a young, likeable guy that will recruit well, but still kind of unproven as a title-contending coach. It wouldn't surprise me to see them in the top 5, but 9-3 wouldn't surprise me either.Yes to everything but this. They had a great recruiting year in 2023 and Riley Leonard is the real deal.
