In case you missed it with all of the commotion caused by Snowmageddon, the 2010 football schedule was released on Thursday. Here is the slate for Virginia, along with my [insanely early!] win/loss predictions:
9/4 -- Richmond (W, 1-0)
9/11 -- @ USC (L, 1-1)
9/25 -- VMI (W, 2-1)
10/2 -- Florida State (W, 3-1/1-0)
10/9 -- @ Georgia Tech (L, 3-2/1-1)
10/16 -- North Carolina (W, 4-2/2-1)
10/23 -- Eastern Michigan (W, 5-2)
10/30 -- Miami (L, 5-3/2-2)
11/6 -- @ Duke (W, 6-3/3-2)
11/13 -- Maryland (W, 7-3/4-2)
11/20 -- @ Boston College (L, 7-4/4-3)
11/27 -- @ Virginia Tech (L, 7-5/4-4)
I know, 7-5. Too optimistic. But with home games against two FCS teams and a bad Eastern Michigan team, it's well within reach.
My logic on the rest of the wins...
Our bye week comes before the VMI game, which basically means that we get three weeks to prepare for the FSU game on Oct. 2nd. That will be a big game for Mike London -- it'll be his first real chance for a "statement win" as UVA's head coach.
We own UNC.
Duke is losing Thad Lewis, and I think everyone in and around the program understands that Virginia simply CANNOT lose to Duke three years in a row.
Maryland sucks.
