Any one of four teams can win this division, and yes, Duke will be pretty competitive this year!
Miami has the talent to return to the top of the ACC and to national prominence. My negatives are the loss of RB Graig Cooper to injury(though Miami probably has more than enough recruits to overcome his potential season loss), and coach Shannon's 11-13 conference record(8-16 ATS)...I know you read everything I write, so you know how I feel about North Carolina. If they can avoid suspensions, they have the best defense in the ACC( maybe the country), a very good coach and 10 returning starters on offense. They win the ACC Coastal and the ACC...G.T. has coach Johnson, a unique offense with a QB who can run it, and decent returnees on defense. They won't win it because this is the first year in their new 3-4 defense, and they will have adjustment problems somewhere along the line... Virginia Tech has coach Beamer, and a very good offense, so as usual, the Hokies must be considered a threat. But, on defense they've suffered some great losses, and have only 3.5 starters back. I love Beamer, but, he won't win it this year... Duke will be a pain-in-the-neck this year. They have a very good coach, David Cutcliffe, who knows how to run offenses. That's good because he has 8.5 starters back on offense, including one of the highest rated QBs to play at Duke in their history. And, the Duke defense won't be stellar, but, they won't be that bad. The Blue Devils will be a fun team to follow this year. We'll get a chance to see how good some of these teams can be very early. Check these early season matchups: Boise St.vs. V.T.; Miami vs. Okla.; North Carolina vs. LSU. Whew!
