ACC Football Conference Odds - NCAA Betting Lines

ACC NCAA Football Betting

The ACC is by far the most non-competitive conference in the eyes of the oddsmakers. Clemson has dominated the rest of its colleagues so thoroughly, that the Tigers are a massive favorite to win the ACC in 2021 even without No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence. North Carolina and Miami are seen as the only two teams that could legitimately challenge Clemson, and it helps that the Tar Heels and Hurricanes are both in the Coastal Division and not the Atlantic.

ACC Championship Betting Odds

Clemson -700

North Carolina +700

Miami (FL) +800

Florida State +2500

Louisville +3300

Virginia Tech +3300

Every Other Team +5000 or More

Clemson has reached the same level as Alabama in that the Tigers simply reload and don’t have to rebuild year in and year out. Dabo Swinney does a good job of rotating in his younger players whenever Clemson puts some distance between itself and its opponents, so this team should be able to hit the ground running even though the offense lost a lot of pieces and has just a handful of seniors. Sophomore D.J. Uiagalelei has played very well in limited action, and he is ready to take over for Trevor Lawrence.

The decision to hire Mack Brown has paid off very well for North Carolina. The Tar Heels had their most success under Brown in the early 1990s, and he has helped this program land top recruits once again. Sam Howell might be the best quarterback in the conference, and the offensive line stands to be one of the best units in the ACC.

As always, the question with Miami is quarterback. The Hurricanes have their best quarterback in at least a decade in grad transfer D’Eriq King, but he will need to stay healthy considering there is no one with any experience behind him. This defense figures to be very good in 2021.

ACC Football Format

The ACC currently consists of two seven-team divisions called the Atlantic and the Coastal. Teams will play six games within their division rotating between home and away annually.

Every team is paired with a permanent partner from the other division which they play every year, and the other cross-division game rotates annually to give every team eight conference games.

Conference Champions (2000)

Florida State ran roughshod over the conference during its first nine seasons in the ACC. The Seminoles went 70-2 in conference play between 1992 and 2000, and they didn’t lose a home game in ACC action until the 2001 season. Philip Rivers led North Carolina State to an upset over FSU in Tallahassee to break that streak.

The 2000s saw Virginia Tech emerge as FSU’s biggest competitor. Frank Beamer led the Hokies to four ACC titles from 2004 to 2010, and they played in five of the first seven ACC Championship Games. Many were surprised to see Virginia Tech outperform former Big East colleagues Miami and Boston College, but the Hokies have continually been more competitive than the Hurricanes or Eagles.

This conference has been extraordinarily top heavy over the last decade. Florida State was the dominant team in the early 2010s, winning three straight ACC titles and a national championship with Jimbo Fisher at the helm. Clemson has been even more dominant since 2015 though. The Tigers have won six straight ACC championships and two national titles in that stretch.

Most Conference Championships

Florida State has certainly made the most out of joining the ACC. The Noles played as an independent until joining the ACC in 1992 and hung a conference championship banner in each of its first nine seasons. FSU became an instant hit in the league and overshadowed some of the original members. Duke (7), North Carolina State (7), North Carolina (5), Wake Forest (2) and Virginia (2) have combined for 23 titles, and all have been competing since the ACC was created in 1953.

The most successful program in the ACC is Clemson. Clemson was the top dog in the conference before Florida State joined, and the Tigers have finally surpassed the Seminoles once again during the greatest stretch in program history. They have won six consecutive ACC championships.
