"Miami made it to the national title game after making the College Football Playoff as the last team in. Eleven total teams made bowl games, and the league won seven Power 4 postseason games, more than any other conference. That includes a 4-0 postseason mark against the SEC. In fact, the ACC finished 8-6 against the SEC in 2025 and finished with nine teams that had eight or more wins -- more than any other Power 4 conference."
"Miami has reloaded, with Duke transfer quarterback Darian Mensah leading the way as the Hurricanes appear ready to make another CFP run. SMU returns veteran Kevin Jennings and a loaded roster. Louisville also could make some noise with Isaac Brown returning and Lincoln Kienholz taking over at quarterback after transferring in from Ohio State."
"BC simply could not run the ball, nor could it stop the run last year, and had major inconsistency at quarterback so starting with those three key areas will be big. O'Brien hired Doug Marrone as his offensive line coach to get that unit headed in the right direction."
The ACC experienced exceptional success in 2025, with Miami reaching the national championship game as the final College Football Playoff selection. Eleven conference teams earned bowl eligibility, and the league won seven Power 4 postseason games—more than any other conference—including a perfect 4-0 mark against the SEC. The ACC finished 8-6 against the SEC overall and produced nine teams with eight or more wins, surpassing other Power 4 conferences. Spring practice begins with significant storylines across the league, including Miami's reload with Duke transfer quarterback Darian Mensah, SMU's veteran leadership, Louisville's quarterback transition, Clemson's new offensive play-caller, James Franklin's Virginia Tech debut, and Bill Belichick's second year with Bobby Petrino calling plays. Boston College faces major rebuilding after a 2-10 season, focusing on offensive line improvement, run game development, and quarterback consistency.
