3. ACC
Alright, ACC, enough.
Clemson is going to be one of the three best teams in college football, if not No. 1. It’s time for someone else to help make the conference interesting.
At some point, Florida State and Miami are going to wake up and be Florida State and Miami to give the ACC some sizzle, but at the very least the two should be stronger this season.
They’re not going to combine to go 12-14 again.

2019 looks like just the beginning for Louisville under Scott Satterfield and North Carolina under Mack Brown, Virginia is going to be consistently good under Bronco Mendenhall, and there’s a whole lot to get interested in at Virginia Tech with a quietly decent-looking team being put together.
Syracuse should be a bit stronger after the 2019 disappointment, Georgia Tech will be better after a year of total renovation, and no way, no how will NC State be that bad again – 4-8 was just a blip.

Clemson is going to win the ACC Championship again.
