GT, Clemson and FSU Football Schedules
May 24, 2015, 1:43 PM

GT has a horrendous schedule: @ ND,@ Duke, @ Clemson, FSU, @ Miami and UGA. Expecting them to be underdogs in all 6 of those games...unless they beat ND. I don't see GT winning the Coastal and don't expect Thomas to be able to finish some of their difficult games.
Clemson's schedule is very challenging: @ Louisville, ND, GT, @ Miami, @ NC State and FSU.
At this time FSU's schedule appears easier with 3 expected difficult games:@ GT, @ Clemson and @ FL. The reason Miami, Louisville and NC State are not on the list is because those games are in Tally.
If Louisville opens with a win against Auburn, they could end up being a potential spoiler in the Atlantic.
As is usually the case, the winner of FSU/Clemson should be in the driver's seat for the Atlantic.
If Duke wins their home game against GT on 9/26, I think Duke represents the Coastal with an 11-1 or possible 12-0 record. Duke's most difficult game other than GT, appears to be @ VT.

What do you think about these Friday night ACC games?

Why do they put the best teams like Clemson and FSU at a continued disadvantage with Thursday and Friday night games? I dont see any SEC teams playing anytime but Saturday

That is Swofford for you. He is trying to help his tobacco road schools, especially his cheaters.

Most difficult league match ups. And the ND games and sec games have no bearing on division winners.

I can see them winning the coastal, but most likely with 2 or 3 losses

That projection is based on only if they beat GT. Duke's 2 most difficult games appear to be GT and at VT. I think GT will be favored, but if GT loses at Duke, Duke's biggest bump in the road may be VT.

Duke lost their QB and best WR from last year. Doubtful they win the other division.
UNC is returning most of their offense from last year including the QB so they have a better shot at the division than Duke.
G Tech lost 4 out of 5 running backs and their top 2 WR. It is hard to believe they'll be as good and they got real lucky last year with a lot of timelyh interceptions that turned into points. Their defense was that good overall but the turnover margin carried them all season.

What makes NC State challengingly? They didn't compete on either side of the ball last year and Clemson should be even better on offense this year. NC State is obviusly one of the toughest road games in the league but I did not get the impression that they really had much talent. Their QB is ok but not great.
