That's actually a pretty impressive schedule

Temple is no "gimmie" - they need to be careful going into that game - I see it much like the LSU vs BYU game, a game against a "weak brand" name team that can and will step up and surprise somebody

They SHOULD win that game

UGA - I am obviously based, but they should lose this one, but noone will be shocked if they win

BC - another game they should win, but cannot afford to take lightly

Mich State - they should lose this game, but like their game against us, noone will be surprised if they find a way to win

Miami (OH) - I mean, wow - they probably have the most impressive line of of "cupcakes" of anyone in D1. But this should be a sure win

UNC - not a team to be taken lightly. Another game they should win, but could easily lose

USC - they should flat get blown out here, but this is a rivalry game & depending on how their season goes early (and their confidence level coming in). This is a winnable game for them, but not likely

NC State - same story for them all season, should win but could easily get surprised here

Wake Forest - if they lose here, Kelly should be fired before he makes it to the the locker room for a post game interview

Miami (FL) - same story as UGA & Mich State; should be favored to lose, could easily win

Navy - see Wake Forest

Stanford - same situation as UGA/Mich Stae/Miami (FL)

Best case scenario is 9 wins for the Irish IMO; worst case is 9 losses

my guess is they find a way to go 8-4
