Buckle up, folks — get ready for another round of Atlantic Coast Conference, Coastal Division mindfreak-ery. Think you know who’s gonna win the country’s most competitive division and face Clemson in the ACC title game as the Tigers’ ritual sacrifice to the football gods?
I hate to tell you this — but you are probably going to be wrong. Actually, you will most definitely be wrong.
Let me tell you a story, dear reader: in BC 0 (Before Coastal, obviously), most people assumed that early-aughts’ powerhouse Miami would dominate the Coastal division (and the conference) when the ACC divisional system and conference title game were created.
