Reactions: ACC

Clemson on FSU's heels

Many user think Bobby Bowden and the Seminoles will have another easy ride through the ACC this year Scott Halleran/Allsport

CNNSI.com users were asked to share their predictions of what to expect in ACC football during the 2000 season. A sample of the responses we received follows:

Florida State will obviously win the conference, but watch out for Maryland. Maryland should be very competitive and look for them to give Clemson and Virginia a run at the No. 2 spot in the ACC. And possibly a big bowl game for the first time in years.
John Lee, Lexington Park, Md.

Clemson will go undefeated, and Florida State will barely win over Florida.
Walter Perry, Provo, Utah

UNC all the way. The biggest shock in NCAA football history!
Blake Diamond, Albertville, Ala.

FSU remains the class of the conference. Clemson is much improved from 1999, but unfortunately for Tiger fans, FSU has improved on their national championship team. Keep an eye on Maryland. LaMont Jordan is the real deal. But its defense needs to step up. Besides Clemson and FSU, no other ACC team should improve on last year. NC State made a huge mistake in releasing Mike O'Cain, as did UNC in retaining Carl Torbush.
Matthew Hills, Atlanta

Easy, Clemson will upset Florida State in Tallahasse.
Todd Hover, Atlanta

FSU goes 13-0. Clemson loses to FSU and Ga. Tech losing to both FSU and Clemson.
J. Saul, Tifton, Ga.

Florida State will go undefeated again.
Charles Baker, Tallahassee, Fla.
