For each of the conference Predictions I will put in both the Predicted Finish according to Win-Shares, as well as my own personal predictions (which are largely very similar).<\/p>\n

Also shows FSU and Clemson as the best 2 teams in the ACC. Also pretty obvious. It also shows over years past that Duke continues to improve, and that Boston College should have a good bounce back year (after winning only 1 game that shouldn’t be very hard).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Simplified Football Predictions<\/strong><\/p>\n Atlantic<\/em><\/p>\n FSU – 11-1 (7-1)<\/p>\n Clemson – 11-1 (7-1)<\/p>\n Louisville – 8-4 (5-3)<\/p>\n NC State – 6-6 (3-5)<\/p>\n Boston College – 5-7 (3-5)<\/p>\n Wake Forest – 5-7 (2-6)<\/p>\n Syracuse – 3-9 (1-7)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Coastal<\/em><\/p>\n UNC – 9-3 (6-2)<\/p>\n Miami – 8-4 (5-3)<\/p>\n Duke – 7-5 (5-3)<\/p>\n Pitt – 7-5 (4-4)<\/p>\n GT – 7-5 (4-4)<\/p>\n VT – 5-7 (3-5)<\/p>\n UVA – 5-7 (2-6)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n FSU over UNC in the ACC Champ<\/p>\n <\/p>\n SF has UNC finishing ahead of Miami and Duke finishing above what is expected. Atlantic remains the same. \u00a0I expect a largely better year for the ACC as FSU and Clemson will be top 10 teams. Louisville, UNC, and Miami should all challenge for or be top 25 teams. Pitt, Duke and GT will likely be teams that receive votes and at some point in the year will be ranked, but not finish there.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That is 9 bowl teams for the ACC<\/p>\n Fiesta Bowl – FSU (Playoff)<\/p>\n Orange Bowl – Clemson<\/p>\n Russell Athletic Bowl – UNC<\/p>\n Belk Bowl – Louisville<\/p>\n PinStripe Bowl – Miami<\/p>\n Sun Bowl – Pittsburgh<\/p>\n Tax Slayer Bowl – GT<\/p>\n Camping World – Duke<\/p>\n Quick Lane Bowl – NC State<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For each of the conference Predictions I will put in both the Predicted Finish according to Win-Shares, as well as my own personal predictions (which are largely very similar).
