Will consider it a successful season if we finish 7-6

these last 13 games and end the year with a 11-7 conference record. Lots of tough games remain on the schedule and there's nothing harder than winning conference road games particularly mid-week.

I see u got a TD on this poast but i feel you’re being realistic however i disagree. Be disappointed if we don’t finish 13-5... with all but 1 loss on road.

I'll just proceed with caution, knowing we've never won 11 games in the league in one season. We have the talent to do anything, but playing on the road in this league is tough, not to mention that we have some good teams in Littlejohn the rest of the way (FSU, Duke, Notre Dame, North Carolina).

I agree. I hope we do better but 11-7 in conference 22-8 overall is dang good.

And there I thought you were going to say your prediction is based on your expectation that we’ll have a number of mid-season transfers. ??

Honestly, 9-9 in the ACC would be great!

11-7 would be fantastic !!
If we do that, Brad Brownell deserves ACC and national coach of the year.

And go a little ways in the ACC tourney. Our typical 1 and done gets old.

It would be our 5th best ACC record ever in terms of winning percentage.

I’ll say it would be a huge success.

That kind of attitude does not win ACC Championships.

Anyone who thinks that's not satisfactory

is just looking at it from a numbers point of view and not at the schedule.
Hypothetically the easiest path to 7-6 is the following
Home Wins (RPI)
Notre Dame (50)
Pitt (158)
Georgia Tech (135)
Florida State (41)
Road Wins
Wake Forest (126)
Georgia Tech (135)
That's 6. The remaining 1 win has to come from a tough slate of games
Home: UNC (5), Duke (1)
Road: UNC (5), UVa (3), Florida State (41), Syracuse (34), Va Tech (73)
That's actually a pretty tall order to get any one of those remaining games without losing any of the 6 games we'll clearly be favored to win. The road wins are tough to come by and even Va Tech in their building isn't a game I expect to win.
Honestly if we finish 6-7 from here on out that would be great. It would be a very successful season and we'd be a tourney lock.
