Do. Not. Get. The Michigan love. Easy schedule does not a good team make. See also: coots.

If Shea Patterson plays he will change that program. He's a baller and their only missing link.

If Shea Patterson gets cleared to play this year

I think Michigan at 14-1is an OK bet. I also disagree that they have an easy schedule. Same division as osu, osu, and msu plus they've played Wisconsin the last two years (might not this year, I haven't looked).

54% chance to win the ACC? That must be a typo. 94% sounds about right

Too early for this much hype....

It's way too early for all this forecasting of a national championship. We're 9 months from San Francisco.....1000s of things can happen between now and then.....

And what does a 54% chance of winning the ACC mean when the previous sentence says we should win 11.4 games?

As for an explanation of the FPI numbers...

It projects us to go 11.4-1.5 (and play in 12.9) games. This essentially means that it thinks we have a ~90% chance of winning the division and playing in the ACC title game. The extra .9 of a game in addition to the 12 game regular season reflects that 90% chance of making the title game and playing a 13th game.

I don't actually see anything about 54%. The FPI I'm looking at has Clemson at 64.5% to win the conference. That means It's giving us about a 72% of beating Miami/VT/whoever we play from the coastal in the title game. That seems pretty reasonable provided we are as good as it's projecting. Miami and VT might be top 10-20 teams, but it's unlikely they are top 5 or anything like that.

Be real surprised if we are favored by 12 at Tex A&M and especially at FSU.

It's 12 points on a neutral field. Should be around 7 considering we will be away for both of those games.
