There a a few excellent defenses in the ACC conference but an alarming number of awful ones. If anything, I think our offense will have an easier time putting up points in conference games next year.
 
Also included the total offense rankings for all BE and ACC schools, just to get a feel for what is coming on that side of the ball. I think the ACC has some really impressive offenses, and some really bad ones. Overall, I think our defense is going to have a harder task dealing with ACC offenses.
 
I don't see the difficult of the conference schedule getting markedly harder next season. Should be close to a wash. The quality of the second Coastal opponent could affect this quite a bit.
 
I threw in Missouri too just because we happen to be playing them Saturday.
