Projecting the ACC: Team-by-Team Schedule Predictions

TL;DR – Clemson wins the conference and goes to the Playoff. Florida St. enjoys another trip to the Orange Bowl.

The predictions were based on the same advanced statistics ratings I use to rate each week’s games. Home teams were given a slight increase in ratings for home-field advantage.
