While FPI gives the Blue Devils the highest chance to win the Coastal among this trio, Miami and Georgia Tech cling to hope. This leads to yet another intriguing question. Which team would present the toughest matchup for Florida State come December?
We can go back to the past two ACC championship games for some history. In 2012, Florida State beat Georgia Tech, 21-15, holding off a late Jackets' rally in what would become the first victory in this current 25-game winning streak. Florida State is better than it was that season, but Georgia Tech is vastly improved offensively than it was back then, too.
The issue for Georgia Tech is defense, which remains porous and liable to get torched by Jameis Winston. However, the Jackets do present perhaps the biggest matchup problem among the three teams in Coastal contention.
