Alabama is ranked 24th and Wake, who they play in October, is 23rd currently. I do agree, it is a pretty weak schedule but, I disagree that they won't win the conference. It just seems to me that the pieces are in place to finally get it done in the weak ACC.I know Clemson is a trendy pick, and they may not play a single top 25 team during their entire regular season....but I don't think they'll win the ACC.

And it's not a "pretty weak" schedule...it's flat-out weak.
I think everyone is sleeping on Virginia Tech. I think they'll quietly go about their business, win their division, and beat Clemson in the ACC championship game.
The Florida defense will be "much better this year" according to Herbstreit. I'd like to hear his explanation for why he believes that.
