1. Florida State 12-0 (8-0)
Florida State is back in title contention, ladies and gentlemen. The Seminoles were robbed by some eyes of a chance to play in the College Football Playoffs just two seasons ago, despite going undefeated, as they were left out of the postseason. Last season was a complete disaster for the program, as they went 2-10, making many question how quickly the Seminoles could recover. The Seminoles are off to a 3-0 start, including a win over the Alabama Crimson Tide. Transfer quarterback Tommy Castellanos and this offense have looked nearly unstoppable, as they lead the nation in yards and points per game. With Clemson starting slow, Miami looks like the only challenge this season for the Seminoles.
So we did it, we predicted the unpredictable. Come back to this throughout the season to see how accurate or insane these rankings were. The ACC is shaping up to be a legit conference this season with multiple contenders. Is Miami back? Can Florida State with the National Championship? Will Louisville football make the title game? These are all questions that this conference will answer for us as the season plays out.
