In what most analysts might call a down year for the ACC, I saw it as a conference in the middle of a power shift. Boston College and Virgina Tech were top dog along with an unproven Clemson team. This Season could be the Tigers year as they will finally make a strong run at the ACC title. The only thing stopping them is Wake Forest and Florida St.5 Best players
CJ Spiller (Clemson)
Josh Adams (Wake Forest)
James Davis (Clemson)
Vance Walker (Ga. Tech)
Patrick Robinson (FSU)
3 players to pay attention to in 08-09
Markus White (FSU)
Arthur Brown (Miami)
Cullen Harper (Clemson)
Coach on the hot seat
Ralph Fridgen (Maryland)

The winner of this game will most likely win the Atlantic Division.
Florida St. at Miami (October 4)

ACC Title Game:Clemson Defeats UNC 24-13

Alot of people have been asking me why did Arthur Brown choose the University of Miami FL over programs such as USC, UNC, and OU. Heres my take:
1) Miami FL has had a great number of athletes come through the program and become professionals in the NFL. Almost every year you see a good number of Hurricanes get drafted so Arthur maybe thinking that it will be the best program that can prepare him and also attract attention for him and raise his draft stock when its his time.
2) Their coach is in his second season as the head coach and hes very defensive oriented. He played at Miami and he is now coaching so he knows the tradition and what spectators expect from the team.
3) Who can ignore the great sunny weather down in Florida, it definately beats Kansas come and go conditions.
4)Their new defensive coordinator comes from the University of Kansas. Although Lawrence is a distance from Wichita, you cannot ignore a top prospect coming from the state your school is located. He knows about him and has seen Brown in action so he will definately give Arthur the attention and the great effort of coaching that he will need to become successful at the college level and beyond.
