Clemson absolutely smoked VT twice last season with a combined point total of 61-13 (23-3 and 38-10). This was a Clemson defense that gave up 29.29 ppg including 27 to Wofford and 19 to Troy. It's insulting to think he would put VT above them.
I really can't see VT beating Clemson or FSU this season. I would give them a 25% of beating Clemson (who gets a week off before playing VT at home) and a 35% chance of beating FSU (who gets a week off before playing in Blacksburg on a Thursday night). I think we have a 40/50% chance of beating them too.
I think we're good at 4th right now. My 12 would be:
1. FSU
2. Clemson
3. VT
4. GT
5. NC State
6. UVA
7. UNC
8. Miami
9. Wake Forest
10. Duke
11. BC
12. Maryland
