College football never stops. Even though the season ended just more than a month ago, preparations are already full speed toward the 2021 campaign.
Spring practices give teams an opportunity to develop starters, find replacements for departed players and give young talent the chance to gain experience.
The outlook for the Atlantic Coast Conference again has six-time defending champion Clemson as the favorite with the rest of the league hoping to gain ground. The Tigers won't be as overwhelming a favorite with them expected to take a slight step back. Plus, some contenders are returning enough starters to perhaps make things interesting.
