Miami Leads ACC Preseason Poll | Virginia Beach News

Miami’s reign as the preseason favorite in the ACC is off to a roaring start, but can they finally claim the championship they’ve chased since last year’s College Football Playoff runner-up finish? With SMU, Louisville, Clemson, and others jostling for top-eight spots, the conference’s power rankings are more unpredictable than ever—especially since last year’s title contenders Duke and Virginia didn’t even crack the top spot. History reminds us that preseason polls are just that: predictions, not guarantees—Clemson’s stumble and Virginia’s surprise rise prove it. Meanwhile, Virginia Tech’s new coach James Franklin brings fresh energy, while Florida State’s future hangs in the balance. And don’t forget the ripple effects of Bill Belichick’s GM being placed on leave—another twist in the ACC’s ever-evolving story. The preseason all-conference team is coming, and Miami and Virginia will likely dominate it. College football’s chaos is back—and this season’s got everything.
