Conference: Home --- Clemson, Georgia Tech, Maryland, North Carolina; Road --- Boston College, Florida State, Virginia, Wake Forest
Nonconference: Home --- Central Michigan, Liberty, South Alabama; Road --- Cincinnati
Bye: Week 7
Don’t play: Duke, Miami, Virginia Tech
Must-see: Not sure there's much to get excited about early. The marquee games come back-to-back --- the trip to Tallahassee in late October, followed by a home date with North Carolina. The Wolfpack's season will be heavily included by those two games.
A favorable setup: September. New quarterback Mike Glennon will get to have the training wheels on for a while. Both road games that month --- against Cincinnati and Wake Forest --- come against teams that fell hard in 2010.
And not so much: It's never good to see a pair of Division I-AA teams on the schedule. The Wolfpack will need to win seven games to make a bowl game. More importantly, it's going to be tough to have a good read on Tom O'Brien's team until well into the season --- perhaps even the eighth game of the year.
