Well either I've been under a rock or just didnt notice, but saw where we had a bye on week 3 (and another 11/9). I did know this, but also for the first time in a while we are starting off with 2 games where we will be heavy favorites. I really like getting 2 live dress rehearsals, bye week and then roll with GT, then ND. We "should" be 3-0 heading into ND so that will make that game huge as both will be ranked and assuming ND doesnt stub their toe with TX A&M, they will be top 5!
That ND, SMU, UVA, Miami stretch will very obviously determine how good we are. Win all 4 and everything changes, but even go 3-1 and we are sitting in a really good spot.
This schedule is NOT easy. I think we have 5 definite wins (AP, Jax St, UVA, BC, Stanford), 4 that I feel pretty solid about, but we need to play well with limited mistakes (GT, SMU, Pitt, UK) and 3 that will be very difficult wins (ND, Miami, Clemson).
