Last mailbag of 2015. Let’s get to it...
@DavidHaleESPN How do you see the ACC being ranked to start NEXT year?
The conventional wisdom would be that if Clemson performs well in the playoff, Florida State wins a New Year's Six game, and the rest of the league holds its own during bowl season, with a slew of talented coaches coming aboard for 2016, the ACC would be in good shape, perception-wise. But we've heard this talk before, and perceptions don't really change quickly. I think Clemson, Florida State and North Carolina will benefit from strong seasons when the preseason polls are announced next year, but I wouldn't count on much of a bump for the rest of the league in the early going.
