My low end expectations for next season are 5-7 (3-5), losing every ACC home game, Miami, UGAy, and BYU.
We'll have yet another new defensive scheme, WR is still a questionmark, and our schedule is pretty rough for an ACC schedule. We draw Clemson, VT, UNC, and FSU, which may very well be the top 4 teams in the conference next year. Miami we should beat but they seem to be inside our head, so in my worst case that's a loss. Georgia's entire 2-deep is going to the NFL so we'll have a better shot than usual, not saying much, worst case L. BYU badger don't care, L. Not a stretch.
My high end expectations for this team are 9-3 (6-2) and a coastal crown depending on whether UNC is postseason eligible by next year (they'll be 7-1 or 8-0 ACC).
We get most of the tough teams at home, we redshirted a lot of potentially exciting names on both sides of the ball this year, and our new DC could rock it. We seemingly beat Clemson much more than is appropriate, so I can swing that to a W. VT sucks right now so they could potentially keep sucking, W. UGAy's entire 2-deep is going pro, and we could have a much better game against BYU this time around, split. We really should beat Miami, W. The 2 ACC losses i'm counting here are UNC and FSU, but feel free to substitute those for any 2 of our big 5 ACC opponents you feel are most appropriate if it helps.
Anything more or less than that will be an enormous surprise to myself. I feel like we'll end up in the 7 wins or less region though, unless CPJ can find a way to motivate the players. Even if we do put everything together, motivation can cause us to lose games we should win (and has).
