    Nice home schedule from a fan standpoint, but also very tough. We get Cuse, Dook and Holes at home.

    State’s 2014-15 schedule:

    Home/Road: North Carolina, Wake Forest, Clemson, Virginia
    Home: Duke, Virginia Tech, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Notre Dame
    Road: Florida State, Miami, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Boston College

    Looks like a path to a pretty good conference schedule.

    Expected losses: Duke (home), UNC (road), Louisville (road)
    Expected wins: Wake (home), Wake (road), Clemson (home), VT (home), Notre Dame (home), GT (road), BC (road)

    That’s not to say that we can’t win or lose any of these games, but this is what I expect based on what I know now. That’s 7-3, with 8 games that could go either way. I can easily see 11-7, and maybe 12-6.

    State’s 2015-16 schedule:

    Home/Road: North Carolina, Wake Forest, Florida State, Duke
    Home: Miami, Georgia Tech, Clemson, Louisville, Boston College
    Road: Virginia, Virginia Tech, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Notre Dame

    This doesn’t look as appealing.

    Expected losses: Duke (home), Duke (road), UNC (road), Louisville (home), Syracuse (road)
    Expected wins: Wake (home), Wake (road), FSU (home), Miami (home), GT (home), Clemson (home), BC (home), VT (road), Notre Dame (road)

    That is 9-5, but leaves these 4 as the toss-up games: UNC (home), UVA (road), Pitt (road), FSU (road). While I think those games will likely be more winnable than those I named as expected losses, we could still easily go 1-3 or even 0-4 in those games, leaving us with just 9 or 10 conference wins.

    Hopefully our team’s development and continuing recruiting success will have our team prepared to excel against this tougher schedule by 2015-16.
