Year two in a regime that just went 9-4 in year one after 7-6, 8-5 runs. They play a tough schedule at Clemson and against Georgia in the cross-over. But I'd think the regime change would set up for at least an 8.5 O/U.
The over on that jumps out to me.
They play at Clemson, at Georgia, and at home against Alabama. At the end of the year, they might've played the number 1, 2 and 3 teams in the country. On top of that, they have to play at LSU, and at home against Auburn and Mississippi State.
So, to get to the "over" of 8 wins, they need to win at least 2 of those middle-tier games, and go clean against the bottom 6 teams on their schedule - which still includes a home game against South Carolina and a road game at Ole Miss.
Arguably the most brutal schedule I've ever seen.
From the Davie years through Kelly 1.0, that seemed to be the perpetual number. Now we're at 9.5.
Discernible progress.
on number of wins with our college buddies and it was usually 8 or 9. Now if we still did it, I would concur with the betting houses that we'd probably be 9 or 10.
Most will poo poo that but I think that's a big deal. That means you're a Top 10-15 team at least year to year and you're a transformational QB away from the playoff. I know everyone wants to win a national championship every year but I'm happy with being good every year and great once every 5-7 years. You do that and the 5-7 years will shrink to 3-4 really quick.
