3. ACC Champions

It’s always a goal for Clemson to win the division and then the conference.

I believe it should be an expectation this season that the Tigers win the ACC. There are no clear contenders once you get past Clemson.

In the Atlantic Division, you have teams like Florida State, Boston College and NC State, but no one that has the talent to compete with Clemson.

In the Coastal, it’s Miami, Georgia Tech and possibly Virginia Tech, although I don’t like the Hokies’ chances with all that they lost on defense.

It’s pretty reasonable to expect that Clemson repeats as ACC Champions for the fourth-straight season in 2018.
