BC is gonna be too tough for Purdue, should easily beat the rest of that schedule

Clemson: 4-0
Furman
At Texas A&M
Georgia Southern
South Carolina

Too much talent. Nuff said

Duke: 2-2
Army
At Northwestern
At Baylor
NC Central

Is going to lose to Northwestern and will drop one of Army/Baylor

Florida State: 3-1
Samford
Northern Illinois
At Notre Dame
Florida

Don't see them winning at ND this year

Georgia Tech: 3-1
Alcorn State
At South Florida
Bowling Green
At Georgia

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

Miami: 3-1
vs. LSU
Savannah State
At Toledo
FIU

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
At Cal
At East Carolina
UCF
Western Carolina

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

NC State: 3-1
James Madison
Georgia State
West Virginia
At Marshall

WVU is legit. They might need to worry about JMU as well

Pitt: 1-3
Albany
Penn State
At UCF
At Notre Dame

Sorry Pitt fans

Syracuse: 3-1
At Western Michigan
Wagner
UConn
vs Notre Dame

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

Virginia: 2-2
Richmond
At Indiana
Ohio
Liberty

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

Virginia Tech: 3-1
William & Mary
East Carolina
At Old Dominion
Notre Dame

Too many losses on defense to hold up against Notre Dame

Wake Forest: 3-1
At Tulane
Towson
Notre Dame
Rice

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.

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.
