TechSideline.com's 2008 ACC Predictions


Accompanying article:
Chris Coleman's Bold 2008 ACC (and VT) Predictions

TSL's Chris Coleman painstakingly went over the entire 2008 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).
