The ACC will have a divisionless schedule for 2023 for the first time since the conference expanded large enough to rate a championship game. The 3-5-5 model gives each school three permanent opponents as well as a rotation that features five unique teams in every other calendar year so that four-year players will visit every opposing stadium in the conference while with the team. Notre Dame (an ACC school for sports other than football) plays six ACC teams in football; even though they are an independent program, the Irish will have an impact on the football fortunesThe top two teams in the conference standings at the end of the regular season will meet in the conference title game. Let’s look at some of the top college football betting matchups in the 2023 ACC football schedule.

Florida State has 16 starters returning from last year’s 10-3 team, more starters than any other program in the nation. This includes edge rusher Jared Verse and quarterback Jordan Travis, who earned Second Team All-ACC honors in 2022. Even with all of that talent coming back, Mike Norvell has plucked elite talent from the transfer portal. Tight ends Kyle Morlock and Jahiem Bell, Keon Coleman, guard Keiondre Jones and D-lineman Brandon Fiske have all transferred in to fill positions of need. The season begins with a neutral-site game against LSU, and the toughest conference matchups may well be the two matchups with Clemson (on September 23 and possibly in the ACC Championship).
Clemson won the ACC Championship in 2022, but their two-loss season kept them out of the College Football Playoff. Quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei has transferred across the country to Oregon State, so now Cade Klubnick is the full-time quarterback. Garrett Riley came from TCU to take the offensive coordinator job, and his system is a variation of the Air Raide. Their wide receiver group is still unproven, though, so expect the Tigers to pound the ball with Phil Mafah and Will Shipley. The D-line lost some talent to the NFL, but Peter Woods, a five-star recruit, will start as a true freshman. Jeremiah Trotter and Barrett Carter are also the top linebacker pair in the ACC.

North Carolina State brought in Robert Anae from Virginia as offensive coordinator, reuniting him with quarterback Brennan Armstrong. The Wolfpack started four different quarterbacks last season, and the hope is that Armstrong, who posted a 31:10 TD:INT ratio running Anae’s offense at Virginia in 2021, can add some stability to the position. The defense is still the top unit on the team, as wide receivers Devin Carter and Thayer Thomas are gone, and the O-line saw two All-ACC starters graduate. On defense, they return six starters, including cornerback Aydan White and linebacker Payton Wilson, from a unit that ranked fourth in the ACC in yards permitted per play.
Miami has two new coordinators and five new assistants this season after an awful first year for head coach Mario Cristobal. The offensive line, one of the biggest flaws, has received a pair of starters through the transfer portal and a couple more in five-star recruits. Quarterback Tyler Van Dyke looked ready to transfer to Alabama, but Cristobal was able to convince him to stay and flourish in Sheldon Dawson’s high-powered system.
