One loss for sure. At USF won't be a walk in the park either, but USF lost more talent than GT.
Louisville: 3-1
vs Alabama
Indiana State
Western Kentucky
Kentucky
No chance against Bama

LSU is gonna surprise people this year with Burrow relative to their schedule. At Toledo would have been dangerous last year, but won't be this year.
North Carolina: 2-2

They'll take care of the Carolina schools but aren't winning at Cal or beating the defending National Champs

Don't have the depth to compete with Notre Dame in November

Indiana has more talent than UVA and is at home. Ohio might win the MAC behind one of the most underrated QBs in the country

Too many losses on defense to hold up against Notre Dame

What a joke of a non-con schedule. lol
Conference non-con finish: 39-17
When you lay it out like he did, it's hard not to come away with the impression that this is scheduling for wins, not credibility. Feels like the weakest OOC schedule we've had in recent years. And maybe the ACC needs that this year. It doesn't feel like we are quite as strong as we have been top to bottom.
Bravo. "Scheduling for credibility" is a fools errand.

Easy for you to say, Lou. Your school already has some.

I'll predict 38-18 if no games are canceled due to weather.

35-18 doesn't sound so bad until you break it down like this:
vs P5 4-9
vs ND 0-5
vs G5 17-4
vs FCS 14-0
Hope I'm being pessimistic here, but right now only Clemson will likely be favored against a P5 opponent from here on out.
