Disadvantage of a 12 game season

There's no way we'll make a bowl this year, but just in general, playing 12 games isn't too smart if you want to get to a bowl. In order to have a winning record (prerequisite for a bowl) with a 12 game season, you have to go at least 7-5. With an 11 game season, you only have to go 6-5.

I take that back. You really never know.

1-0 already

If we beat Navy (likely) NW (likely), Wake (possible), UVA (possible), UNC (possible) and Louisville (possible) that will make us 7-5 and bowl eligible!!!

Wishful thinking? Yeah, but fun to think about!

6-5 should not get you in a bowl. it should be 7-5 with a 11 game schedule, 8-4 with a 12 game schedule, IMO

While I think you are correct that you may beat Navy and NW.....the rest of your projections call for a

Going by Nate's logic -- which is to put anyone who has lost already under the "possible" category -- Navy is by no means a "likely."

Actually, I think there are way to many bowl games now. Something like 25 or 26 bowls?? 50-52 teams playing in bowls, thats crazy. 117 D-1A college teams and damn near half of them will be playing in bowls. Now when people start talking about playoffs, the first subject that comes up is that it would make it a longer season, my question to that is, well why in the hell do we have some teams as of now playing 13, possibly 14 games in a season?? It wont be long before we see 16 games being played. Playoffs wont happen anytime soon either, the BCS has another 5 years to go

JD, i think it is likely that we'll beat Navy.

BTW, my logic is not that if a team has lost we have a chance. Wouldn't Clemson be in there?

I have just seen almost all of those teams play, and know a sh*tload about our team, and there are reasons why it's possible for us to beat them all.

You might beat Navy, but I would really hesitate to say that it's "likely."

As for the rest, it seems to me that you just looked at most preseason predictions and dubbed the three teams picked just above you in most of them as "possibles." And there is nothing wrong with that -- because I think we've all done that.

But if you argue all that because you've "just seen almost all of the teams play," then I'm curious as to how you got that all from one game.

Going off the first game -- heck, the first three -- last year would tell me that UNC would have struggled to win more than two games (which is what I remember a few people saying).

The best way I see to look at it is that all games are possible -- and none are likely -- until they are over.

JD, that's why it's a pregame prediction, and it can fluctuate either way. Shoot, Maryland and Clemson could both head south REAL fast. You never know, that's why these predictions are just for hypothetical fun.

Yeah, I should realize that -- and I apologize if I take it too seriously. Predictions get on my nerves because people talk like they know what they are talking about, when they are really going to end up getting a lot of it wrong. That's why I try to steer clear of predictions....

I hate a lot of them too. Like, I hate when people predict Duke last in the ACC solely because we sucked last year and the year before that. It has some validity, but it's also not fair.

I just accept it, though.
