Conference call: Hurricanes look to continue dominant run; Panthers and Bears hope young QBs take step in ACC play | Sports

The ACC had one of the most insane finishes to a college football season, as the 9-5 Duke Blue Devils took home the conference title in Charlotte after Virginia finished 11-3 last season. Now, with turnover in the transfer portal and several coaches in the hot seat, the conference is due for another big season.

But how are they going to finish? I’m bringing back my conference breakdowns for the 2026 season. This year, I’m not just predicting the Power Four conferences — I’m making predictions for all 10 FBS conferences. Today, we’re taking a look at the Atlantic Coast Conference (plus two schools in California) to decide who will take home the ACC title.
