Virginia Cavaliers Season Prediction, What Will Happen
There’s so much reworking going on that this will be one of the true X factor teams in the ACC.
If there can be just a wee more balance, and a lot more defense, and if the offensive line can be rebuilt fast and if everyone can stay relatively healthy and if the coaching staff can get into a groove right away …
There’s no reason to not go bowling and come up with a winning season, especially with a schedule that’s just not all that bad.
Set The Virginia Cavaliers Regular Season Win Total At … 7
Start with this: there’s no Clemson and no NC State – those might be the two best teams in the ACC. There’s no Wake Forest – who went to the ACC Championship last year – missing Boston College and Florida State is a plus, and Notre Dame doesn’t come up this time around.
Not to team-shame, but three of the four ACC road games are against the relative lightweights – Duke, Georgia Tech, and Syracuse didn’t go bowling last year – and the fourth is just down the road at Virginia Tech.
Pitt, North Carolina, and Miami are all home games during a wonderful second half stretch – the Cavaliers don’t leave Virginia after October 20th and have just one date outside the state after October 1st.
However, there are way too many 50/50 games for a team with so many things going on.
Oklahoma State is a problem – even at home – going to Illinois will be difficult, and all those games against good ACC teams at home and mediocre ACC teams on the road are hardly sure things.
Throw in tough home dates against Louisville and Coastal Carolina, and a six-win season is an easy goal, seven is a must with all the decent breaks, and anything more would be wonderful.
