ACC 2026-27 Preview: Simulations Back Miami, and the Race Behind Them Is Chaos

The ACC spent 2025 collecting plot twists. Duke won a conference title after losses to Tulane and UConn. Virginia produced the first 11-win season in school history, then lost the championship game. Miami snuck into the 12-team field as an at-large, then came within a possession of a national title. Clemson fell from preseason darling to 7-6. ESPN’s ACC preview called it the silliest power conference in the country, and meant most of that as a compliment. 2026-27 now adds a nine-game league slate, a new quarterback in Coral Gables, James Franklin in Blacksburg, and a Miami-Notre Dame rematch that does not arrive until November.
