This will be the most talented roster we've had in 10-15 years, no doubt (one of the top 2-4 most talented teams in the ACC based on the metrics). But it's a new roster. Franklin's work this season will be bringing a brand new group of young men together and molding them into a team (CTE did an excellent job of that up in C'ville this past season, so we know it's possible). I think James Franklin was a genius when he built out his staff. He went back to his roots and leaned on guys he is really familiar with. What that means is that managing staff issues won't be a main part of his job. He will be able to fully focus on running this team and doing whatever it is that makes James Franklin successful. Now to the question at hand... I see 5 games that we absolutely should win (one of those, VMI, is likely to be replaced). I see another 2-3 that, based on team cohesion and development, we could definitely win. Then we have a small handful where I wouldn't necessarily expect a win. So I see anywhere from 6-8 wins. I think anything under 6 would be a disappointment, unless there are multiple key injuries. All that being said, the ACC is hot garbage. I mean, Duke and UVA played for the title this season. If UVA had a remotely decent schedule they likely wouldn't have been in that game (remember how many close games against bad teams they had?). Anything is possible these days, especially when you consider the fact that James Franklin is having a bit of a "Texas Tech" level of portal acquisitions.
