The rest of ACC football is YIKES. Absolute embarrassment with the money the programs have at their disposal.
There's a reason the Orange Bowl is the worst of the NYD bowls.
Here’s the Mr. esayem analysis of a quite predictable “down” year.
Miami was jilted at the alter by their own, Richt, who was sort of the returning hero so that was a HUGE blow. Diaz is .... but still has the talent to lose by only 4 to vaunted Florida. Then they lose to FIU so, yeah, maybe a coaching problem.
Georgia Tech is made up of option football players and they’ve switched to a totally different offense and have struggled mightily.
Louisville has shown vast improvements under their new coach and finished better than expected.
Virginia lost a couple of clunkers to Louisville and Miami, which are still very talented teams. UVA finished atop the Coastal, where predicted.
UNC has overachieved and is bowling, contrary to most “expert” predictions.
Duke is Duke.
FSU fired their coach mid season.
Clemson is Clemson.
BC apparently had a bad year by their standards.
Syracuse was WAY overrated, as I told anybody who would listen.
Pitt is tough and they will continue to be tough. Lost by 7 to vaunted Penn State.
Virginia Tech, who knows? Didn’t have a horrible year, except that whole Duke game.
Wake overachieved and then was brought back to earth a few times.
NC State fans will tell you their team has been riddled with injuries, but maybe they just suck? No excuse there.
So what it looks like to me is the teams that were expected to be solid were overrated, while the teams expected to be bad, were underrated. Leaving us a very competitive race in the Coastal and a bloodbath in the Atlantic thanks to Dabs and his consistency.
Hopefully, the ACC keeps the consistency of the improving teams into next season and eliminates the problems at other places, which FSU and BC have done.
