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.
