The Clemson Tigers are the preseason favorite to win the Atlantic Coast Conference's football championship this year, as predicted by members of the media.
Clemson was picked No. 1 in the (still ill-named) Atlantic Division. I'm guessing by looking at the preseason rankings that Clemson is expected to knock off Virginia Tech in the ACC Championship game. The Hokies are expected to leave the (equally ill-named) Coastal Division.
As far as N.C. teams go, UNC-Chapel Hill is expected to finish second in the Coastal, and Wake Forest second in the Atlantic. At the other end of the spectrum are Duke and N.C. State, who are expected to finish last in the Coastal and Atlantic, respectively.
In other football news, three-time national champ Appalachian State has been picked to win the Southern Conference ... again. The Mountaineers received eight of nine first-place votes in the preseason coaches poll.
Elon University was picked second, while Western Carolina was picked eighth.

No way UNC finishes second in their division.
I'd say Carolina has a better chance of finish 2nd in the Coastal than we do of finishing DFL in the Atlantic, which is to say, it ain't happening.
So ... are you saying Carolina WON'T finish second or State WON'T finish last? Me confused.
