Four straight ACC Championships. Three years removed from a National Championship. Nine College Cup (Soccer's Final Four) appearances in the last 15 years. The Preseason favorite to win the ACC. Four players on the Preseason All-ACC team.
If you were to give a casual soccer fan those descriptions and asked them to guess which team they referred to, they would almost certainly say North Carolina. They would be wrong. The answer is the Seminoles of Florida State. In the last five years, it has been the Seminoles, not the Tar Heels, who have been the dominant ACC power, both nationally and in conference play.
