ACC Football Season Predictions

Atlantic Division

1. Boston College - 10-2 (6-2)
They've got what most teams in the conference don't--a quarterback!

2. Clemson - 9-3 (5-3)
In second despite a win over BC at home, but thanks to a win over FSU on Labor Day.

3. Florida State - 7-5 (5-3)
The Seminoles can restructure their coaching staff all they want, it still won't get them a reliable QB on the field.

4. Wake Forest - 7-5 (4-4)
Last year's champs were largely senior-driven.

5. NC State - 6-6 (3-5)
The first rule of college sports is that you can't be good in both basketball and football. And Sidney Lowe's team is on the rise.

6. Maryland - 3-9 (1-7)
They got sooooooooo lucky last year.

Coastal Division

1. Virginia Tech - 9-3 (6-2)
They could win the national championship if the BCS decides to include misplaced sentimentality in its formula this year.

2. Miami - 8-4 (6-2)
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that they'll have a fast defense.

3. Virginia - 8-4 (4-4)
Ok, fine. To make up for this horrible out-of-conference schedule, we'll play our first game in 2008 against USC. Chances are it won't be in January, though.

4. Georgia Tech - 7-5 (4-4)
By losing Reggie Ball, they actually get better at quarterback. However, they get worse at having guys for him to throw to.

5. North Carolina - 4-8 (2-6)
They're going to start the climb to the top, but they're really far down the hill.

6. Duke - 2-10 (1-7)
Last year's win total multiplied by infinity!
