For the third year in a row, Clemson is favored to win the Atlantic Coast Conference. The media who cover the conference picked the Tigers to win the league on Friday.
This marks just the second time since the media started predicting the ACC Champion in 1976 that the Tigers are listed as the preseason favorite for a third straight year. Clemson was predicted to win the conference every year from 1987-’89, as well.
Florida State owns the all-time mark in consecutive years of being picked to win the ACC. The Seminoles were predicted to win the league title every year from 1992-2005
Clemson was also picked as the favorite in 1978, 1991, 2008, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018.
