As much as we insist optimism run high during this month--particularly since State does not play during it--there is sometimes occasion to acknowledge cold, mean numbers. ESPN's FPI projection system provides just such a thing, as it's saying there is a nearly 54% chance that either Clemson or FSU wins the league.
Our @ESPNStatsInfo now projects the ACC as a toss-up between Clemson (27.1 percent chance to win) and FSU (26.8) http://t.co/PA0yQOWyon
