6 of those are realistic possibilities. 2 are not. I'll let you guess which 2.

UNC will crush ODU. The rest seem plausible, with UTSA over Baylor as the longer shot.

If we get past MSU, I feel confident about SC.

People are really sleeping on my FIU. They were leading into the fourth vs IU last year, under Ron Turner's horrible coaching. I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled off the upset in Indiana.

I think both of WKU's games are a toss up and we also have a new coach which is another unknown.

He was talking about teams with a chance to win. Let's see if we can keep it close with Miami before we start talking about upsetting NC St.

Sure we do. I'll be disappointed if we don't win at least 1 of the 2.

I have us pegged for losses in both. Until we quit pulling a Western like we did last year vs Vandy I have no faith in us winning a road game against a big 10 team. And We were fortunate as hell to beat Vandy down there 2 years ago. Every time we've faced a Big 10 line they manhandled our defense. With a brand new coach and brand new DC I don't really know what to expect. But I do expect their O Line to handle our Dee Line no matter how bad Illinois is predicted to be. That means their backs will run for big yards and means their QB will have more time to pass than he'll have all year.

I want us to win both. We should be able to if we fancy ourselves a good team. But I've been burned too many times to 'expect' a win in either.

Well the track record points to UNC crushing ODU. UNC finished 8-4 and 31 in Sagarin, NC State and App state crushed ODU at home both simliar ranked teams. Time for ODU to not embarrass the conference and at least be competitive

While i agree Bobby Wilder should be ***** slapped if that kinda of crushing were to happen at home it is far less embarrassing than losing to an FCS team at home. We will see what this ODU team is made up of soon enough.

I expect ODU to lose to both. ODU is good, but the last two ACC runners up? Too much to ask for.

Not saying we will win but UNC lost like 75% of their offensive production last year. I know we lost our QB but we still have both of our running backs and 3 of our receivers. We also only lost 1 person from a good O-line.

Tech can beat Miss State. Hell USM has a shot at beating Kentucky depending on QB play.

Well, doesn't that depend on what happens with Hannan?
