[QUOTE="bke1984, post: 227118, member: 932"] I think we'll be going into Thanksgiving weekend at 8-3, and since it's in Athens, who knows...maybe we pull out a win and get to 9 in the regular season. Knowing how things are in the Coastal, that could actually get us into the ACCCG... Here's my logic: vs. BC (Ireland) - W vs. Mercer - W vs. Vandy - W vs. Clemson - L (as much as I'd love to win, they're just really, really good right now) vs. Miami - W @ Pitt - W vs. Georgia Southern - W vs. Duke - W (I want to embarrass these guys this year) @ UNC - L @ VT - L vs. Virginia - W @ Georgia - ??? Looking at it now though, this is a pretty manageable schedule. We only play four true road games this year, and only two of those are at hostile environments. Don't be surprised if we bounce back in a big way. There are two critical stretches... Clemson/Miami/Pitt and Duke/UNC/VT. We can't go 0-3 in either of those stretches and have a successful season, and we honestly need to go 2-1 in at least one of them. After a 3-9 season it's easy to say 7-5 would be acceptable, but looking at the schedule I think that'd be pretty disappointing. If we lose 5 then we really don't get any quality wins at all. Wouldn't be much different than last year...just a different end result from an easier schedule. So realistic expectations...8 or more [/QUOTE]
