Clemson is going to be the class of the conference again, but BC and Miami will provide stiff competition. The middle of the conference is strong and deep with NC State, FSU, Wake, and Va Tech residing there. The bottom is relatively strong and there aren’t any pushovers. In recruiting it’s Clemson, Florida State, and Miami are the class of the conference.
