Well we are 4 and 3 with 2 home losses. Really hate that we gave Miami that game, I really think that is one we let get away. You could say that about Pitt as well, but when you get stopped short when you need to make a yard, you really don't deserve to win. So we have proven to be a middle of the road team. I watch a lot of football and with only about 10 or so exceptions, we are about like everybody else out there playing the game.
So we have 5 games left for sure and based on what I see out of us and out of our upcoming opponents here is how I see us finishing 2016:
Duke - a close win at home. Certainly they can beat us but I think with a week off and some extra prep time we will be able to beat them by a field goal or so. It will be a nail biter because they have some confidence against us based on their recent success against us.
UNC - a close loss on the road. They run a lot of jet sweep, eye candy, fast paced crap that gives our defense real problems. They hold like hell and their QB gets the ball out in less than a second most of the time. We can score a lot of points on them but they will score more on us. I see a 10 to 14 point loss.
Virginia - another close win at home. They are not as good as us but they give us trouble most years. This will get us bowl eligible (whopee) and we can look forward to a trip to Shreveport or Birmingham. I think the defense will actually have 4 to 6 sacks in this game.
Va. Tech - I just don't see us hanging with the Hokies this year. Their QB is the kind that always gives us fits. Unless he gets hurt before we play them, I don't think we have much of a chance. They will beat us sort of like they beat Miami. 31 to 17 or so.
Georgia - I tell you they are just not a very good football team and we should beat them. I think we play with a bit more pride in Athens and I think we will finish the regular season off with a big win.
So that makes us 7 and 5 with a minor bowl trip to face some team you would never expect like Minnesota or South Florida. Bowls just don't mean as much to GT as they once did so I give us a 50/50 shot at winning it to finish either 8 and 5 on the upside or 7 and 6 on the downside.
What say you.
Go Jackets!
