There's no shortage of hoopla surrounding the ACC ahead of the 2025 college football season.
Bill Belichick's foray into college football begins in Chapel Hill as the legendary coach readies for his first season at the helm of the Tar Heels. We'll hear from Belichick at this week's ACC Football Kickoff, a three-day showcase as the conference readies for its 73rd season of football.
The ACC sent two teams to the College Football Playoff last season, and both programs are among the contenders to return this year. Dabo Swinney and Clemson returned to the national stage last year, buoyed by strong quarterback play from Cade Klubnik. SMU waltzed through its initial ACC slate, buoyed by dynamic quarterback Kevin Jennings, who is back for another season.
There's plenty of intrigue in the Sunshine State, too. Miami may be without Cam Ward, but former Georgia star Carson Beck slides in to lead the Hurricanes. Mike Norvell and Florida State will look to climb out of the cellar following a disastrous 2024.
