-Atlantic Coast Conference-
Predicted Finish
Atlantic Division
1)Florida State
After a 9-4 season in which high expectations weren't met, this years' version returns 17 starters and has the talent and experience to win this division and more. QB EJ Manuel should have a great year and the defense will once again be one of the best. This team should finish in the top 10.
2)Clemson
Clemson won 10 games in '11 and will pose a real threat to FSU in the ACC. Among the returnees are QB Taj Boyd, RB Andre Ellington, and WR Sammy Watkins. Boyd threw for 3800 yds and 33 TD, Ellington rushed for 1178 yards and Watkins became one of the nation's best playmakers with 1200 yds receiving.
3)NC State
This team 13 returning starters and QB Mike Glennon returns as the Wolfpack will try to match or surpass last years 8 wins.
4)Boston College
5)Maryland
6)Wake Forest
Coastal Division
1)Virginia Tech
Frank Beamer's team won 11 games in 2011 and will be aiming high this year again. Virginia Tech returns 9 starters on defense as well as QB Logan Thomas. The 6'6'' Thomas threw for 3,000 yards and rushed for over 600 and I am extremely high on him this year. If Tech's O-line improves, I think Thomas will be a Heisman finalist and the Hokies will be looking at another ACC title game berth.
2)North Carolina
The postseason ban and new coach make me worry but the return of QB Brian Renner and RB Giovani Bernard is enough to make me keep UNC in the #2 spot. The schedule really helps too.
3)Virginia
I like what is happening in Virginia with coach Mike London and i expect the upward trend to continue.
4)Georgia Tech
5)Miami
6)Duke
