2023 Football P5 Games - EigenEagle - 01-30-2023 10:54 AM
Let me know if there's any mistakes. Really a nice slate that's full of winnable games.
I expect another season with several P5 wins. And for anyone who would ask where the wins come from ask how many of the P5 wins we got 2019-2022 that we were supposed to get on paper.
9/2:
Coastal @ UCLA
ODU @ Virginia Tech
Arkansas State @ Oklahoma
Texas State @ Baylor
9/9:
James Madison @ Virginia
App State @ UNC
Troy @ Kansas State
Southern Miss @ Florida State
9/16:
Georgia Southern @ Wisconsin
Wake Forest @ ODU
South Alabama @ Oklahoma State
ULM @ Texas A&M
9/23:
Virginia Tech @ Marshall
9/30:
Louisiana @ Minnesota
10/7:
Marshall @ NC State
11/18:
Georgia State @ LSU
Southern Miss @ Miss State
ULM @ Ole Miss

I think Marshall is capable of winning both. ODU and JMU should win. Louisiana should be a win. App should win (should have this year) and USM is a 50/50. Maybe Troy starts off a Tulane run against KState. Several others are winnable, but worse than 50/50.

USM plays at Miss. State on 11/18/23.

Luke Fickell got off to a slow start at Cinci and think he might at Wisconsin as well...

Well we have three against the Virginia P5's so that's a minimum of three wins. I'm betting we pull off at least two more.

I like App St @ UNC, Wake @ ODU, and Marshall @ NC State also.
Feel like 5 P5 wins should be the floor this year. Anything less would be disappointing.

App will be breaking in a new QB and UNC will be setting a potential Heisman candidate with a vendetta loose. Gonna be a tall task for the good guys.

Realistically, we're looking at 2 or 3. More if some balls go our way.

Perhaps I'm too optimistic, but I see 7 or 8 that I think are winnable. That doesn't mean they are in the bag, just possibilities. Two or three seem very likely, the others more like coin flips. I'm thinking at least 4-5 wins come out of that.

Meh, if we have a dramatic bounce back season, I feel good about WF and maybe VT. But a new OC and unknowns there right out the gate @ VT might be a tall ask.
RE: 2023 Football P5 Games - EigenEagle - 02-02-2023 10:47 AM
There are 18 P5 games.
If you're 10-point dogs in all of these games (I know that's not realistic but just using that as a typical spread), statistically you can expect to win around 20%, which is 3 or 4. People always want to look for the matchups that look good on paper and forget some upsets will happen and some teams will be better than you expect.

I give USA a decent chance against Oklahoma State. OSU is coming off a 7-6 record and lost a ton of players to the transfer portal. Especially on offense.

But did you consider that VT sucks?

I'm sure they upgraded the QB position so you won't be relying on interceptions by Cant Wells. But yeah they pretty much blow for 2 decades.

If we don't win this game then Huff needs fired on the spot.

Right?! That was the game plan last season for sure. Maybe with a new offensive coaching staff for an entire off season and not fired in September we'll be just fine. =]
