Bold ACC predictions for the 2016 season

It's finally game week. It's also time for our bold predictions for the ACC.

Virginia makes a bowl game. The Cavailers have a new head coach, new starting quarterback and depth concerns up and down the roster. So why would this team end a five-year bowl drought and make it to the postseason? For starters, Virginia has been pretty close to bowl eligibility the last two seasons, losing a combined eight games by a touchdown or less. The difference between winning and losing have been mental breakdowns late in games, from penalties to turnovers to big-play busts.
