I find nearly every game on this schedule challenging. Out of respect to other teams, let us not forget that WF came in here and took us to the wire and the game @ SU was no stroll.
Samford and Syracuse @ home are the easiest. I feel UVA is next in line, similar to Houston in terms of difficulty. We could easily lose either but I think we win both.
@ WF won't be easy but we are a good road team, remember they were really young last year and again, they played a good ball game.
I feel @ PITT, BC @ home, and yes UK @ UK are very similar in terms of difficulty. BC will grind it out, Pitt has always given us fits, and despite the boorish behavior of so many of their fans around here, UK could be a 6-7 game winner and that last game is going to be a tough game.
1) Auburn, just a tough opener w/ so many new faces
2) @ FSU, tough environment and they have lost one game in two years
3) @ NC St, this is a sleeper team sitting on a good season
4) Clemson, good program, lots of new faces, short turn around we get them on Thurs night and it will be a good atmosphere
5) @ Pitt, a road game that may not be a raucous environment, could be very cold, and if they get physical they could wood shed us.
All this said I love our team I know this comes off negative I just respect the schedule and teams on it.
