Media picks Clemson to win ACC

The media has picked Clemson and Miami as the two ACC teams most likely to meet in the football championship this fall.  Media members attending the ACC Football Kickoff selected the two teams as the front-runners.  Clemson was also picked to win the ACC Championship by a wide margin, collecting 95 of the 120 votes cast. Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd was also the overwhelming pick to repeat as ACC Player of the Year. He seized 105 of 120 votes, and no other player tallied more than four.  As far as the ACC Championship Game, the most likely scenario for the league’s title game December 7 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC, is for the Tigers to beat the Hurricanes, according to the media. With seven starters back on offense, including Boyd, and 10 players who started at least five games last season back on defense, it is no surprise Clemson has such media hype heading into the fall.
