CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The ACC is coming off the best season in conference history, with national champion Clemson, Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson and preseason College Football Playoff favorite Florida State leading the way.
So what are the most pressing questions as ACC Kickoff begins Thursday in Charlotte? Atlantic teams will answer them starting Thursday, with Coastal teams set to take the podium Friday.
What does the league do for an encore? The ACC supplanted the SEC as the top conference in college football last season. But a conference’s reputation is only as good as its most recent performance, and that is why this season is so crucial for the league.
