[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 317165"] I think anybody that fails to take into account the following will end up with silly predictions: 1) We've won fewer than 7 games only twice in the last 20 years. Think about that one for awhile. 2) Paul Johnson has only finished below 0.500 in the ACC once in the last 10 years. 3) We have 16 starters back. This is especially important to an offense like ours. 4) Not only do we have 16 starters back, but we have several multi-year starters/heavy players back. In other words, folks like Brant Mitchell, Kyle CH, Clinton Lynch, etc. etc. were either starters way back in 2015 or they were getting a lot of playing time. 5) We are also much deeper than we usually are (in my opinion). We have 4 QBs that CPJ says throw a blanket over. We probably have that many A-Backs you could say the same about. 6) Coach Paul Johnson averages 8 wins/season. 7) The rest of the Coastal Division has in large part been obliterated by graduations and NFL departures. I think anybody that looks at us to win 8 games and finish right around #25-30 is probably a pretty fair assessment. Because that would mean you are predicting us to do about average. As a more biased person, I would say we have a lot more going in our favor this year than we usually do. But I think 8 wins is a fair starting point for someone on the outside. [/QUOTE]
