As a a fan of a couple of ACC schools, I am satisfied to know the ACC has a contract with the Orange Bowl and access to the 4-Team playoffs, but doesn’t mean I have to be pleased with the overall landscape of college football. 5 Conferences have contracts with existing bowls that are likely to …

Quarterback should be a position of strength in the ACC this year. Several teams having returning starters, and I would estimate that there are 6 or 7 ACC quarterbacks that could make a run at All-ACC Honors. Who the best of the bunch?
