RheagarTargaryen	9	17 returning starters on a team that finished 9-3. I think they win the Atlantic this year.
SpadeRyker	9	The defense should be one of the best units in the country and returns everyone from a year ago plus some returners from injuries. The offense is the big question after losing almost their entire rushing production and top WR alongside LT Ekwonu. They'll need someone to step up in the RB room and will rely heavily on QB Devin Leary's talent to bridge the gap of lost production.

bretticus33	10	NC State is a trendy ACC favorite for a reason: they return most of a stellar defense and get their best LBs back and they have one of the country's best quarterbacks in Devin Leary. The question is if NC State can shed history and live up to their preseason billing.

nw____	24	I'll admit that NC State was originally #26 in my rankings. I just can't get over the talent they have at QB and defensive line. Those positions are important enough that they'll win some games regardless of how the rest of the team plays. That said, I will believe it when I see it from NC State. They've had the talent to do more than they have been over the last couple of seasons and it makes me wonder whether Doeren is really the man for the job. He has done a terrific job, but has he taken NC State as far as he can? The window might be closing soon.

donald_flap	9	NC State had a great year in 2021, and I expect them to build on that with even more flair. This team is good, and I can’t logically put them below teams with big question marks on and off the field.

dusklord1	10	NC State returns over 80% of its production from last year, according to ESPN. They should have a great season. I don't think they're getting anything beyond an at large NY6 berth though (or an ACC bid if Clemson is in the playoffs). I can't see them beating Clemson on the road, even if they live up to expectations in every other game. Clemson has so much more raw talent.

stevensmeister	12	Leary might be the best QB in the country not named CJ Stroud or Bryce Young. Lots of production back for a team that excelled a year ago.

mcguffinman	17	With Dabo, Dave C, and Dave D, the ACC Coastal has 3 damn good coaches that have first names that start with 'D'. Losing Ekwonu will hurt NC State, but it won't kill them. They have played great ball on both sides and will have another great season.
