Looking at the schedule now, in hindsight, it doesn't look that bad. Georgia will obviously be very good and will be favored, no bones about that. I don't see Michigan being improved, and even though they'll be at home they also have to play Penn State the week before our game while we have an extra week to prepare /w a Bye...so I like our chances. That leaves USC and Stanford. We get USC at home in October after playing Bowling Green, that's not bad. I think we play them better than we did this year, we take that win. Stanford is the last game, and that's the only other game that gives me pause. Given our history in November games, the fact this is on the west coast in their house, and Stanford will probably be improved after a down year, they may have a good chance in that one.
So, baring an upset I think we could very likely go 10-2 at worst next season with 11-1 being very possible. I don't see us running the table again, only because the law of averages says we drop a game somewhere or likely lose to Georgia since teams just don't go undefeated in back to back years when you're playing tough teams. I would take 10-2 though, especially if we at least win against Clemson this season.
