4. Boston College: 6-6 (Offense 6, Defense 4, ST 1)
Boston College lost their QB, RB, top WR, two OLs, DE, S, and a CB. That's the bad news. The good news is that they should be able to scrape together enough wins to break even.
Fifth-year senior Chris Crane has to play well and find some new targets to win on the road against NC State, and at home against Maryland and Georgia Tech. Boston College will not be the team that it was last season, of course. However, look for the same mentality to be there, unlike other schools that are breaking in a new offense (GT), or have coaches on the hot seat if they don't perform to expectations (Maryland).
BC will play conservative this season as they attempt to find new playmakers. Their biggest game will be the Georgia Tech game. This game will be a good indicator of what to expect the rest of the season from Boston College and will be an early test of the team's ability. If they do not win this game, they will only win four all year.

5. NC State: 4-8 (Offense 6, Defense 4, ST 1)
NC State has chosen a terrible year to only return eleven starters and play North Carolina and Miami from the Coastal division. NC State may be headed in the right direction ,but so is the rest of the conference, and teams like Miami and UNC are headed there a lot faster than the Wolfpack.
Their running game was abysmal last year, ranking 11th in the ACC. Hopefully the offensive line will come together and they will improve that stat this season. However, considering the powerful defenses opposing them in the division, I do not see this happening.
