TechSideline.com's 2006 ACC Predictions
Accompanying article: Chris
Coleman's Bold ACC (and VT) Predictions
TSL's Chris Coleman painstakingly went over the entire 2006 ACC football schedule and predicted every
game. We posted his predictions here, plus the results, so you can make fun of him when he's wrong or (let's be fair)
bow down in homage when he is right. This page will be updated with weekly results -- Chris's misses will be highlighted,
while his makes will be printed in standard text, thus emphasizing the times that he is wrong (ha-ha).
