I’ll start off on the defensive: I really do think Virginia will win the ACC Coastal this year. I’m not buying Miami, which got its coach fired, or North Carolina, which recruits great and doesn’t do anything with it.
Virginia has the league’s best quarterback and wideout corps, a favorable schedule.
Yeah, it needs to rebuild the O line, the D was awful last year.
Tony Elliott’ll get it figured out.
Clemson is the class of the Atlantic, N.C. State and Wake will contend.
In Charlotte, the team with the best QB wins.
