As soon as you figure out what coast any of the six teams in the Coastal Division are on, then you're sufficiently qualified to accurately predict the 2006 season for Virginia Tech, Miami, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Virginia and Duke.

Since that answer isn't forthcoming, let's take a wild stab at the predictions. Yes, it's the return of ACC Now's Crystal Ball. Being something of a contrarian, I didn't go with Miami, the preseason media pick. There's only one rule I follow: Everybody has a Super Bowl.

Click on each team for their predictions. Once again, the best part of this excercise is coming back in December and seeing how wrong I was.

Enjoy!

Come on. Miami is the only school could possibly be considered coastal, they should be a shoe-in.
