Thanks to our new sponsor Inteleca for helping bring back Q's Take my weekly look at things around GT and college sports from my vantage.
I got asked by some subs to do this so let's dive in. I'm trying to be honest as of 7/23/23. My GT pick is sort of all the breaks going GT's way. This is likely my predicted order of finish that I'll have to vote on at the ACC Kickoff on Tuesday.
I'll go team by team and game by game
Ranking the teams by how I see them finishing
Clemson 11-1
wins- Duke, Charleston Southern, FAU, FSU, Cuse, WAke, Miami, NC State, GT, UNC, South Carolina
Loss- Notre Dame
FSU 10-2
wins- Southern Miss, BC, VT, Cuse, Duke, Wake, Pitt, Miami, North Alabama, Florida
losses- LSU, Clemson
NC State 9-3
wins- UConn, VMI, UVA, Marshall, Duke, Miami, Wake, VT, UNC
losses- ND, Louisville, Clemson
Pitt 9-3
wins- Wofford, Cincinnati, WV, VT, Louisville, Wake, Cuse, BC, Duke
losses- UNC, ND, FSU
Miami 8-4 (they could easily go 5-7 or 10-2)
wins- Miami (OH), Texas A&M, Bethune-Cookman, Temple, GT, UVA, Louisville, BC
losses- UNC, Clemson, Louisville, FSU
Louisville 8-4
wins- GT, Murray State, Indiana, BC, NC State, Duke, VT, UVA
losses- Notre Dame, Pitt, Miami, Kentucky

wins- App State, Minnesota, Pitt, Cuse, Miami, UVA, Campbell, Duke

Georgia Tech 7-5 (this is sort of my best-case scenario other than if they beat Louisville)

Syracuse 5-7
wins- Colgate, Western Michigan, Army, VT, BC

Virginia 2-10 (I don't feel confident in picking two wins)
wins- James Madison, William & Mary
losses- Tennessee, Maryland, NC State, BC, UNC, Miami, GT, Louisville, Duke, VT
The ACCCG would be a rematch between Clemson and FSU
