If you had to put all the ACC teams into a Tier...
-Tier 1 being a team that can finish in the top 6.
-Tier 2 being a team that could end up with 9-12 wins but not expected to win the playoffs.
-Tier 3 being a team that will be bowl eligible at the least.
-Tier 4 being a team that will be surprised to win more than 4 games.

What would the tiers look like for the next 2 years?

For me it would be:

Tier 1: Clemson / FSU / Miami
Tier 2: UNC / VT / Louisville / GT with a good full back
Tier 3: Duke / UVA / Pitt / NC State / GT with a bad full back or QB
Tier 4: Wake Forest / Syracuse / Boston College

This put Atlantic with the top 2 and worse 2 teams in the conference, and the Coastal with a bunch of average to above average teams, which seems to have been the norm for the last few years anyways.

Tier 1: clemson
Tier 2: FSU, Louisville, UNC, MIAMI in that order
Tier 3: GT, Pittsburgh, Duke, VT
Tier 4: BC, WF, Cuse, nc state, UVA
 
On second thought, I would put Boston College in Tier 4...forgot they have no offense and Don Brown just left.

Also, you don't think UVA with their new staff could get 6 wins? Same for NCState

I agree with your tiers.

I just don't agree with the GT portion so I FIFY
 
1. Clemson
2. FSU, Miami & UNC
3. Louisville, Pitt, Va Tech, Duke & BC
4. Syracuse, NC State, UVA, GTech & WF
 
Too much emotion above

Tier 1: Clemson, FSU
Tier 2: UNC, Miami, VTech, Louisville
Tier 3: Duke, UVA, GTech, NCState, Pitt
Tier 4: Boston College, Wake Forest, Syracuse

You don't understand how (some people believe) Clemson is in a Tier of their own, but Bama needed an onside kick to beat them when they didnt even have their top defensive back?

Bruh, all that sounds like excuses to me. 2 is not a winner. They lost. Nobody is remembering the team that almost. Bama got the hardware.

Clemson does not belong in a tier of their own for losing the ship. tf?

Clemson loses to Bama by 5 points without their best defensive player. The next 2 best teams get destroyed in their BCS bowl games (Houston vs FSU) and (Oregon vs UNC) but they are on Clemson's level?
 
Clemson has one season in how many that they didn't choke during the regular season and dudes think they Bama or some ****.

exactly. In here making a boatload of excuses for Clemson.

Derrick Henry ran all through Clemson.

If, ands, buts. Uncle should be my aunt.

Clemson does not belong in a tier of their own.

Period.

One year losing a ship doesn't warrant that spot. Especially not over FSU who has an undefeated ship season recently.

Come on.

UNC played Baylor in there bowl game and gave up over 400yds rushing and Baylor was using there 4th string QB....UNC will have the same problems this season in stopping the run

Clemson lost zero ACC games and beat UNC and FSU. So yes last year they were solo in the top tier of the ACC. So FSU had a better season in 2013 and their ranked higher now? No.

However, I moved FSU up in mine because their team is pretty stacked this year. Still think we beat them and so does Clemson.

He didn't say "Based off of last year".

So, i dont care what Clemson did last year. I care about Clemson's program as a whole; and potential. They have no ships. Even when they win one they won't be in a tier if their own.

Thats fuqin absurd.

Clemson has been a top 15 team the past 4 years in a row for those at home keeping track of the facts.
