And those are two teams that we lost to last year.

I actually liked it there the first two games of the year because it gets our mind right to try and get some exact some revenge against those two teams.

But I think that November slate, Jason, is the killer here.

At NC State, who's supposed to be much improved.

At Miami, of course, that date circled for many reasons, but also Miami is expected to contend again for the college football playoff.

Clemson is expected to be better.

That's our last home game.

And then at Wake Forest, who gave us a ride this year, and next year, again, is supposed to be much improved.

So I'm thinking when it comes to this whole thing,

So we're going to have to start out early.

If we can get a couple of wins under our belt early, that'll help with confidence.

But if we struggle like we did this year, it's going to be hard to make that up before you hit November where you really have a murderer's row of almost all the potential teams that you can see, if you think about it, for the last seven weeks of the season.

UVA, who pasted us in the regular season, we saw them in the ACC championship.

Boston College is the only Gibby, air quotes, right?

That's the only one that you think is a winnable game.

After that, NC State, Miami, Clemson, Wake Forest, you have to win at least three of those games to even be in consideration for a high postseason bowl or the ACC championship game.

And only three home games after that buy.

I think that's also where the ACC schedule didn't do us any favors.

Only UNC, BC, and Clemson are our home games.

Everything else is on the road.
