With ACC media day coming up I thought i'd share my thoughts as to how I see the ACC shaking out. Look forward to seeing everyone else's projections as well.
Atlantic
1. FSU - Pretty obvious. Just too much talent top to bottom
2. Clemson - Same as FSU don't think they will be as good as last year, but still too much talent with great coordinators on both sides of the ball.
3. Cuse - May be a homer pick, but we have the advantage getting the Cards at home where we have had a ton of success against them.
4. Louisville - imo a bit over rated and will struggle at times. New staff wanting to do different things with old personnel. Anytime losing someone like Bridgewater you will take a step back.
5. NCST - Rest of Atlantic should be bad with 3 teams rebuilding to a point. NCST most talented.
6. Wake Forest - Just because I really like Clawson
7. BC - Rebuild year. Lose a ton of talent, and will be short scholarship players.
Coastal
1. North Carolina - Other then FSU, and Clemson probably the most talented team. They definitely have the toughest schedule having to play Clemson for their crossover.
2. Virginia Tech - Easiest schedule, and an always reliable defense.
3. Pitt - My sleeper team. Boyd is ready to emerge into a stud. Voytik may be an upgrade at qb.
4. Miami - Losing Ryan Williams will be tough, but still a lot of talent.
5. Duke - Most over rated team in country. Played a Rutgers like schedule last year, and had a good half vs FSU. Texas AM had worst defense in country.
6. GT - Paul Johnson's last year
7. Virginia - Mike London's last year.
