Yeah, Duke made a great hire with Elko and looks to be on the rise, I doubt Wilcox could beat Duke because Elko would coach circles around him. That said, Syracuse, Louisville, and NC State and all the schools you mentioned are all very beatable.

Just a reminder that Wilcox gladly scooped up FInley after Finley realized he was not going to crack the two-deep at NC State during Spring Ball. So NC State is beatable, yet they told Finley he would be twirling cardboard plays on the sideline had he stayed. Just puts things into perspective given that a lot of Cal fans are clamoring for Finley to start over Jackson. And Jackson would be twirling those same signs had he stayed at TCU......Sigh.

And, figuring in one additional winnable home non-conference game, Cal could very conceivably go 7-5 next year, whereas in the pre-dissolved PAC-12 that would be a much taller order.
