The College Football Playoffs are expanding to twelve teams, with the 5+7 structure giving five conference champions an automatic bid into the CFPs.

As power conferences reduce to four and the former Pac-12 programs join the ACC, Big Ten, or Big 12, teams are fighting for a spot in the first-ever 12-team playoffs.

So, which ACC teams will most likely earn a spot in the CFPs? Will the Miami Hurricanes finally earn a berth to the postseason? Will Clemson return to the playoffs after a short rut? Will Florida State earn redemption from last season’s disappointment?

. 11. . 432. . . ACC Runner-ups. clem. . 11-1

Dabo Swinney has struggled to maintain the Tigers' once consistent dominance since the inception of the NIL.

However, Clemson will find itself near the top of the national rankings by the end of the upcoming season.

With a relatively easy regular season, the Tigers' only loss will be against the Georgia Bulldogs in their season opener. Clemson will fall to Florida State in the ACC Championships game but still earn their place in the CFPs.

435. . . FSU. . ACC Champions. . 10-2. 8.

The Florida State Seminoles are going to be out for blood in 2024 after being left out of the College Football Playoffs last season.

The Seminoles will go 10-2 in the regular season, with losses to Florida and Notre Dame in non-conference play, and will go on to defeat Clemson in the ACC Championship game.

FSU may not be a top-contender in the CFPs but the Seminoles will finally earn their place in the playoffs.

Unfortunately, Mario Cristobal and the Canes will once again fall short of the College Football Playoffs but maybe, just maybe, Miami can find itself a bowl game win at the end of next season.
