Predict? I'd have enough trouble naming the 17 teams, let alone ranking them.

While I like that Stanford has been added to the ACC graphic, I do wish the Tree were facing left so that it doesn't look like we're walking away from the rest of the conference.

Before I clicked on the mascot ranking I thought, "If they put Florida State first then I know I can safely ignore this person's opinion."

Blue Devils...ok. Demon Deacons? I guess. But why Cavaliers for Virginia? Weren't those the Roundheads? It's a Euroterm...and what is the Cavalier holding in his hands? Looks like a milkshake from Peninsula Creamery...

It really is a mint julep.

According to this article, the drunken Cavalier logo was introduced after Prohibition was repealed:

RE: Predict the 2024 ACC Football winner - Mick - 07-31-2024

Sports Illustrated's preseason ranking of the ACC in football, with first place votes in parentheses. Doesn't bode well for us:

  1. Florida State (81)
  2. Clemson (55)
  3. Miami (17)
  4. NC State (8)
  5. Louisville
  6. Virginia Tech (5)
  7. SMU
  8. North Carolina
  9. Georgia Tech (1)
  10. Cal (2)
  11. Duke
  12. Syracuse
  13. Pittsburgh
  14. Boston College (1)
  15. Wake Forest
  16. Virginia
  17. Stanford

ACC football power rankings, order of finish at 2024 Media Days (si.com)

We do a little better with ESPN's computer model (win prediction in parentheses):

  1. Florida State (8.8)
  2. Clemson (8.5)
  3. Louisville (8.0...not a typo, it's out of order in the article)
  4. Miami (8.3)
  5. SMU (8.3)
  6. NC State (8.0)
  7. North Carolina (7.5)
  8. Cal (7.0)
  9. Virginia Tech (7.0)
  10. Duke (6.1)
  11. Pittsburgh (6.4)
  12. Georgia Tech (4.9)
  13. Boston College (5.6)
  14. Stanford (5)
  15. Syracuse (5.8)
  16. Wake Forest (5.3)
  17. Virginia (4.6)

It wasn’t SI.  It was the media vote by those media members who follow the ACC.
