Predictions:

- Clemson will break through and win the ACC this season. There is just too much talent there to pick against them, despite their history of falling short.

- Duke will surprise some people, and by surprise I mean win 3-4 games.

- North Carolina will make a push to win the Coastal division, but Virginia Tech won't be dethroned this season.

- Miami will make it back to a bowl game, but will only finish third of fourth in the Coastal, depending on how well Georgia Tech adapts to head coach Paul Johnson's new system.

- Virginia will fall into the Coastal basement, unlikely to win all the close games like they did last season.
