North Carolina first month with Ross laid out the situation very nicely.
Yeah, it's rough.
Okay?
So TCU week zero, they're, they're on a bye in week one, so we'll forget about- Yeah whatever they do.
ETSU is the first home game, but then you have the double of Clemson and Notre Dame.
Mm-hmm.
They're back-to-back with a, with another bye, because this is a normal sport, in between.
So, and by the way, Pitt-Duke-Cuse- At, yeah, at Pitt, at Duke.
Yeah.
Back-to-back weeks.
I was gonna say, that, that doesn't get any- Yeah.
I mean, you, you can see a one and five coming- any better, right?
And then that's probably it.
Pitt is, reliably Utah-esque in its, physicality, and, or, or Kyle- And Mason Hines is a very good quarterback Kyle Whittingham, that's right.
So, and then obviously we know what we have in Duke, and then, and then Cuse, question mark.
But if I'm looking at, if I'm assured of a, an ETSU win, and I'm just, I'm, I'm, this is a hypothetical, I'm not seeing a lot of relief if you knock off Cuse.
By the way, you get rewarded with Miami.
Yeah.
I feel better- Yeah, and then- about Jason Candle and UConn in that game November 7th than I do about North Carolina at present.
Sorry.
Right.
Right.
And, and it's Jason Candle UConn might be just as difficult for the ACC teams that have to play them as Jim Mora UConn was.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That program has figured out how to be a fly in the ointment.
They still need, they, they, they still need to advance their cause.
But, didn't mention Louisville, didn't mention Virginia, didn't mention Dave Doran.
The, the- This is so, such a harder schedule than they had last year.
Like, what's their, what's their Vegas over under four, four and a half?
Four and a half.
Four and a half.
Yeah, this is the most- Feels hard to get to when you look at the schedule this is the most talked about four Can you name me another team in college football with a Vegas over under of four wins or four and a half that we have spilled this much ink over?
