Winning a national title papers over a lot of cracks. Technically, the ACC Atlantic got to boast the champ for the third time in six seasons last fall, but outside of Clemson, this was the most disappointing division in the nation, mainly because Florida State fielded its worst team since the mid-1970s and Louisville fielded its worst team since the mid-1990s.
FSU should begin to bounce back this fall. Louisville might. Syracuse and NC State will have a good shot at top-30 or top-40 performances. But aside from Clemson, the average S&P+ ranking in this division was 60.
