Over at AthlonSports, J.P. Scott dished out 5 Outrageous 2017 ACC Predictions, and one of them was predicting NC State would win the Atlantic Division:
It won’t be pretty early on. It’ll look like a muddy horse race full of close games and round-robin outcomes between three or four teams. But at the end of the season, the horse that separates from the Atlantic pack will be the Wolfpack. They return 16 total starters on offense and defense from a team that nearly knocked off both Florida State and Clemson last season. And with the race still close at the end of this season, NC State will get to close out its campaign against Boston College, Wake Forest and North Carolina.
