The ACC always skews a little funkier than the rest of the power conferences.

Nothing seems to go according to plan. Miami was the best team by far - and should be again - but Duke and Virginia came out of nowhere to play in the ACC Championship.

It should be another fun, balanced season, and a loaded Notre Dame team hanging around - the Irish have six games against ACC teams - adds another level of unpredictability to what should be a blast of a year.

What are the early CFN win totals and projected records for every team?
