The ACC Coastal has had 7 different division winners in the last 7 years. In 2020, the UNC Tar Heels seem to be the favorite to win it with Mack Brown turning around the program in Chapel Hill. Virginia will look to defend their 2019 Coastal Crown without Bryce Perkins at the helm, and D'Ariq King is now down in Miami slinging the rock for the Hurricanes looking to make the leap in Manny Diaz's second year. Who do the boys think comes out of the Coastal this year, and can they challenge Clemson for the ACC Title? #StayWide

Clemson has been the class of the ACC Atlantic (and the ACC in general) in recent history, but the other 6 teams in the division are all somewhat jumbled together and have a lot of work to do to challenge Dabo's boys for a trip to Charlotte. Does Mike Norvell have what it takes to bring FSU back to relevance? Can Scott Satterfield keep Louisville on a meteoric rise in Year 2? Will Lane pick NC State to go undefeated again? #StayWide

The 1st ever Five Wide Side Piece episode! In a quarantined world without sports, we've decided to put out some new content that strays away from our normal college football talk.

Episode 33! Here at Five Wide, we all had a pretty tough year when it comes to predictions. In this episode, we decided to highlight all of these wrong preseason takes (and the few good ones as well) and get everything out on the table so that we could award our very 1st Dingus of the Year. If you've been listening to us all year, then you won't be surprised at who brings it home. Also, one of us sings on air, and some are saying he may be the songbird of his generation whether he knows how to find a melody or not. #StayWide
