Wake is going to be awful this year.   NCSt regressed last year across the board and are in a roster turnover it looks like.   It should be them and BC in the 5/6 spots.

FSU, L'ville and Clemson have been three of the best teams in the country over the last two years.   All three were statistically better last year than the year before.  FSU 6th on offense last year, 19th in 2012, 3rd vs 2nd on defense, Lville 28th on offense last year, 51st the year before, 1st on defense in 2013 vs 23rd in 2013, Clemson 9th in offense in both 2013 and 2012, and 24th on defense last year vs 64th in 2012.

There is no reason to believe that any of those teams are going to regress to the point where they won't finish 1, 2, 3 in some order.

That leaves SU.  Last year the offense fell off the table.  Finished 86th on offense in 2013 vs 17th in 2012, total offense was 100 yds/7pts per game less than the year before.   The defense actually improved finished 34th vs 47th in 2012.   If the offense can split the difference between 2012 and 2013 and the defense performs in the range of the last two year the team should finish in the 8/9 win range.   7 or less would be significant under performance.
