Clemson, barring a hiccup in 2021, has been the dominant team in the ACC dating back to 2015. It's possible things might be changing with the potential threat of Florida State coming this season. The Seminoles, long dormant after Jimbo Fisher's departure, won 10 games last season and appear poised to be both a contender for the conference title and possibly the College Football Playoff.
But the duo isn't the only potential winner of a league that is big on parity after the two front-runners. North Carolina has big hopes with Drake Maye's return at quarterback. Pittsburgh won the league in 2021 and is always solid under Pat Narduzzi.
