Do you know anything about Miami and NC state?

That's fine if you have us winning those, but if you think expecting a loss for those two games is out of this world, you have no idea what NCSU/Miami might be this year.

Yeah NC State/USC/Stanford are my three most feared opponents this year, for a variety of reasons.

8 wins. BK is not retained.


Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut we could go 11-1, and I would not be shocked. But at some point you bet on what's been average for a guy. For BK 8 wins has been average.

This is exactly where I am ... I think ND has averaged three one-possession losses per year under Kelly, obviously last year it was much higher. If they somehow improve there, I'd be more confident in joining the 9-to-10 wins crowd.

I'm talking about having a hurricane in SB against NCST... Making a simple joke here.

10-2 regular season ...finish just outside the playoff.....

11-2 with bowl win....coaches do very well with time to prepare and all the injuries mostly healed.

Recruits maintain their commitment and Wimbush chooses to stay for Senior year to Win NC.

Yeesh. Your comment made me look real quick

They return 17 starters to a team that lost to Clemson in OT, lost to FSU by 4, hammered a decent Vandy team in their bowl game.

Not necessarily predicting a loss, but that will be tougher than I had thought

Even with all the "distractions" from last year, the Irish was in almost every game. Maybe the new coaching changes and renewed emphasis on preparation will result in the Irish being able to win some of those one score games they lost last year.

I am going 9-3 and then see what happens with the bowl draw. To me, it all hinges on three games. Ga will set the tone early for the Irish if they win. Then the USC game will be difficult and even with an Irish loss there they can't come back home flat and lose to a solid NC State team. Then on to Stanford.

Tee it up boys... it's football time again. Good luck Irish Nation.

You're a gentleman and a scholar T Town.

The only games i believe that we should be worried about are Georgia, UNC due to the next week of playing USC, USC and Stanford because until we beat them i'll be worried.

Really? I'm worried about all of them but Miami (Oh) and Wake. This team has the ability to beat anyone on the schedule as well as lose to almost anyone.

8-4. Defense won't be good enough to hold better opponents down so offense will be playing catch up and they'll abandon the run, the clear strength of the team.

Anyone have beers for me come Saturday? Driving up and hoping my normal tailgate spot is good to go! Should be as it has done well the last 4 years.

Outside of that, we beat the spread on the ground alone.

Mark my words!

I like shots over beers so open to the freebies there too, just sayin!

Thanks!

Wow.. they have us starting 9-0. Hype would be real.

Ending a season where you started 9-0 with a 1-2 record would totally be a Notre Dame type move. ha.
So they have us beating UGA and USC but going 1-2 vs Miami, Navy, and Stanford? Doesn't add up.

I am surprised we don't already have a thread going of who our head coach will be next year......I still see 10-2 or 9-3.

We tend to do best when pre-season hype and outside expectations are lowest. They seem pretty low right now.
So: 10 wins (lose to USC and either Miami or Stanford after injuries have degraded our already-thin defense). Miss the playoffs but make a major bowl game, where we lose to some more talented team that's pissed they didn't make the playoffs. Then the hype train kicks into high gear for 2018. So, basically, 2015 on repeat.

Got the number right, if not the route there.

ND will start 6-0. Why? Georgia (8-5) was average at best last year:
-lost by 31 to an Ole Miss team that finished 5-7
-lost to Vandy
-beat 4-8 Missouri by 1

However, ND will stumble to a 9-3 finish, losing to USC, Miami, and Stanford.

Mmm...completely wrong, yet right.

10-3 with a nice bowl win that satiates 70% of the fan base.

Oh, and thank God ndgradstudent is no longer posting. I just feel better when i see a line through his name.

For once, I was right. It won't happen again.

I thought 8, maybe 9 with a bowl win, we got 10... Disappointed on how we finished but we exceeded expectations.

MY problem is I thought 2018 was the playoff year, but we still don't have a QB and I'm not sure we will have one week 1 against Mich, and a loss to them sets us behind big time

A lot like UGA, a loss to Michigan (though the last thing anyone round here can handle) would most likely do little to keep ND out of the CFP if they win vs Tree, @VT, @NW, FSU, @SC and the lesser games including Navy in distracting San Diego.

Michigan doesn't beat teams with winning records, don't worry. It'll be fine.
