I think they go 15-0 and win the National Title. Their defense is legit.

And here is where their 2018 regular season opponents rank in ESPN FPI:

NR Furman
#19 Texas A&M
#102 Georgia Southern
#31 Georgia Tech
#56 Syracuse
#45 Wake Forest
#42 NC State
#18 Florida State
#35 Louisville
#34 Boston College
#30 Duke
#28 South Carolina

.... only two opponents in the Top 27..... zero in the Top 17. It doesn't get any easier than that.

Yes its a weaker ACC this year on paper that we should dominate. I think BC will be much better than #34.

Stats can be tricky things...

Number of opponents in top 35
Clemson - 7
USC - 4

We won't be tested by an elite team this year in the regular season, but could easily lose a game if we get complacent or have a bad day (Syracuse?!?).

That easy schedule will only take you so far. They have to win the title games then 2 playoff games. They do that then they more than earn it.
