We’ve been building towards it all week with our team preview releases, but here are our ACC preseason rankings as voted on by 14 writers on the Student Union staff.
- Clemson (12)
- Miami (2)
- Florida State
- Virginia Tech
- NC State
- Boston College
- Georgia Tech
- Louisville
- Pittsburgh
- Wake Forest
- Duke
- Syracuse
- North Carolina
- Virginia
Will these be 100% correct? Likely not, but I hope so. Surprisingly, our poll lines up very similarly to the actual ACC preseason media poll despite us completing this a week ago. Personally, I think North Carolina will be better than they are given credit for and I think Virginia Tech is the most likely team in the ACC to be a disappointment. One thing is obvious, Clemson should be the best team in the conference by a large margin and Miami likely doesn’t have any challengers in the Coastal, setting up a rematch of last year’s title game.
