will be hard with all the missing starters that transferred out and graduated I see us going 2-2 OOC. But I saw that even if we still had Kade, Dez and Lee. I still see that with the talent we have. We probably lose to NCSU, Montana and beat Elon and Campbell. The question is how will we do in the SoCon.

Mike Minter resigned from Campbell I've been wondering about the situation down there. He could recruit phenomenally, but it didn't really seem to translate to the field

Elon and Campbell should be good games, and ones we can win. Going to Montana is going to be tough, but like everyone else, I'm sure Montana is going to have guys poached from their team, and they will have gaps to fill. NCSU, is what it is........grab the pay check, don't get hurt, and learn a few things about your team to start the season.

Things really don't change a whole lot. If we want to sniff the playoffs we will need to be at least 6-2 in SOCON play just like normal. I agree 2-2 OOC is certainly feasible. I expect Montana to lose players, too. They also were nowhere near as good early in the season as they became in the last half of the year. 8 wins for the Cats in 2024 will be more impressive than it would have been in 2023 given the schedule and where some of our away games are, but it is still something that is attainable.
Talking about winning records was the pipe dream we all had 4 years ago. So even with all the transer portal news this is better than the conversations back then. Here is hoping for a big signing day tomorrow and a few big adds via the portal heading into the Spring.

Some other schools are starting to release their schedules, so the SOCON must have already announced the league slate. According to FUBeAR on AGS (and on the Mercer football site), the Cats will play at Mercer on 10/26.

Next year will be a difficult schedule. Going 6-2 in conference will be a huge challenge, but one that I believe is doable:
1) Going to Samford will be very tough, regardless of who they have on their roster. Not sure we have ever won in Homewood? 2) Going to ETSU, even though they have a new coach, will be difficult......lots of portal/transfer guys going in will have a big immediate impact 3) Going to Mercer will be harder than ever......haven't won in Macon since 2014 (maybe that was the Bears first year in conference?), and they just experienced their first ever playoff appearance. 4) Going to Furman will be hard, but they are going to be replacing a lot of starters on both sides of the ball........better get this one in Greenville!
We absolutely must go 4-0 at home in conference in 2024 if we want to get to 8 wins. Chatt, Citadel, VMI, and Wofford will all be greatly improved (especially Citadel and VMI), and Chatt was a playoff team for 2023.
Going to be an uphill battle for sure!
