The Florida State Seminoles finished 13-1 last season, with their only loss coming in six games on New Year’s in the Orange Bowl at the Georgia Bulldogs.
The Seminoles, who infamously went undefeated in the regular season but still missed the College Football Playoff, are favorites to win the ACC this season at +275. The Clemson Tigers are the second pick at +375. Florida State (30-1), Clemson (50-1) and the Miami Hurricanes (40-1) are among the top 15 teams in terms of odds to win the NCAA Championship.
There will now be 12 teams in the 2024 playoffs. The CFP selection committee will determine the seven highest-ranked teams, and the five highest-ranked conference champions will also qualify.
Here are each ACC team’s regular-season win totals, conference and national championship odds, and ESPN betting expert Joe Fortenbaugh’s best future bets.
Then: Big 12 (Tuesday), Big Ten (Wednesday), SEC (Thursday), American (Aug. 12), Mountain West (Aug. 13), C-USA (Aug. 14), MAC (Aug. 15), Sun Belt (Aug. 16) , Independent (August 17)

Fortenbaugh’s favorite: 9.5 wins over Miami (+135)
It’s a good buy-low spot on a Hurricanes team that let down in a big way last year with a 7-6 record that featured six losses in the program’s final nine games. But all that fallout inspired head coach Mario Cristobal to hit the portal harder than ever, and he earned two highly-coveted awards over Washington State quarterback Cam Ward and Oregon State running back Damien Martinez. This year’s schedule sets up incredibly well for a bounce-back season, as the Florida State game takes place in Coral Gables and the road slate offers Florida, South Florida, California, Louisville, Georgia Tech and Syracuse. It’s not going to inspire any nightmares, especially when you consider the fact that the only back-to-back road dates (Louisville, in California) feature a bye week between them.
