Conference Overview
Both divisions are wide open this year. GT gets Virginia Tech, North Carolina and Clemson at home, so they get the nod over the Hokies and the Tar Heels in the Coastal. It wouldn’t be surprising to see any one in the Atlantic, sans BC, take home the crown. NC State played very well at the end of 2008 and has playmakers back on both sides of the ball. Even without LB Nate Irving, this team could go 7-0 to start the year with some help, which gives them the edge over Clemson, Wake and FSU.
