ACC Football Title Race: Clemson and FSU Lead the Pack
Transcript
00:00Okay, so now the ACC, very different than the Big 12, because I suppose there is this
00:11narrative Bill, from what I'm hearing now, look, obviously, Florida State's a favorite.
00:14But the narrative is, is that Clemson is going to be back this year, they're plus 360 to
00:19win the ACC.
00:20I hear the same thing about Miami every year.
00:22I'm not buying that.
00:23I see them four to one, I'm just going to pass that up.
00:25NC State six to one, Virginia Tech 10 to one, and Louisville 10 to one.
00:30So yeah, I mean, I guess Bill, for me, it's like until the hurricanes show that they can
00:35coach these kids, I cannot buy into the University of Miami.
00:39But I can buy a little bit on Dabo and Clemson.
00:42Tell me why they're so close to FSU to win the ACC.
00:45One thing to consider these contenders in the ACC, everybody has a first year transfer
00:50quarterback.
00:51A lot of them have played 20 or more games like Grayson McCall, like Cam Ward, like DJ
00:56Yu at Florida State.
00:57Clemson does have Cade Clubnick back.
01:00Clemson does have a lot of NFL talent on defense.
01:02I think Clemson got tired of hearing all offseason about the transfer portal and why didn't you
01:06go get other guys?
01:07I mean, if I'm Dabo, I'm using that in the locker room every day.
01:11Granted, they play Georgia in the opener, but their schedule isn't too bad after that.
01:15So there is a lot of value in Clemson.
01:17I still like Florida State.
01:19I know they lost 10 guys to the NFL draft.
01:22I know that there's a challenge there.
01:24They play two games in the ACC right off the bat, but I'm going to trust Mike Norvell and
01:28the talent that they have coming back.
01:31About Miami, Craig, I'm kind of with you.
01:34I'll believe it when I see it.
01:35I understand the hype.
01:36Their schedule is only one ranked team on the schedule, but they've got to go do it
01:41on the field.
01:42And that's what they haven't done in recent seasons.
