Predicting each ACC football game in 2025, and every team's final record

Last season, the ACC produced two College Football Playoff teams and very nearly turned out a third, and the conference is looking to get more teams in the national championship race heading into the 2025 season.

We count three teams in the ACC that have the potential to win nine games this season according to our game predictions, in addition to as many as six schools that might miss out on the bowl season completely.

Of course all eyes are on Bill Belichick, the man regarded as the most accomplished head coach in NFL history, who stunned the college football world by taking the job at North Carolina, and how well he’ll be able to turn this roster around in his NCAA debut.

What can we expect from the ACC this season? Here are our complete predictions for every game in the conference for the 2025 football season.
