Orlando Sentinel: Clemson, who's your ACC daddy?


by -

According to the Orlando Sentinel, their writer strongly believes that Clemson will not win the ACC this year.

They[media] all claim Climpson - the overrated, underachieving program that has won just one ACC title in the past two decades - is the team to beat in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Sports Illustrated, Lindy's, Athlon, The Sporting News, USA Today; they all have Climpson winning the ACC.

"Offense wins in 2013, and the Tigers are the best in the ACC on that front," writes Lindy's College Football Preview. "Clemson runs ACC table."

This is an absolute insult to coach Jimbo Fisher's Seminoles, who last year won the league for the first time in seven seasons and served notice that they are ready to dominate the ACC like they did during Bobby Bowden's heyday in the 1990s.

You want to know why Florida State will likely win the ACC again this year . . . and next year . . . and the year after that? Because the Seminoles are not really an ACC team. They are a SEC team that happens to play in the ACC.
