2008 ACC Football Predictions: Week 1

Week 1 in the ACC
I don't think there's going to be a lot of upsets in the first week. The only chance for a real upset is the VT-ECU game. If Tech's newcomers have trouble playing as a team on defense and the team flounders on offense, the Pirates could pull the upset.
