The ACC will not send a team to the College Football Playoff. Clemson has fallen off the map. North Carolina has been revealed as one of the nation's most overhyped teams.
Only three teams are ranked in this week's USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll, and it's not who you might expect: No. 13 Wake Forest, No. 19 North Carolina State and No. 22 Pittsburgh.
What the league does have, however, is elite quarterback play. Four of the 20 semifinalists for the Davey O'Brien Award, given to the nation's best at the position, hail from the ACC.
