against UNC with their talent? I don't see that. Any team can beat another team on a given day. But I don't see enough talent or coaching to compete against what I expect to be a top 15 or top 20 team.

WV away will be difficult. Their team isn't on the same level as UNC obviously, but that will be a tough game. That has better potential to pull a rabbit out of a hat but I don't like the odds.

Notre Dame should and almost certainly will be a loss.

With that start, who knows. I still see this as a sub-.500 team. Whit may have bought some time last year but I don't see this going anywhere longer-term. I'm more shocked by the non-event with Fuente, however, after being reminded of the number of messes under his watch.
