FSU Picked to Win the ACC in 2017

Florida State is predicted to break a 2-year hiatus and win its first ACC title since 2017.

The conference released its media poll voted on by 167 members on Monday. The Seminoles received 121 votes to win the Atlantic division and 118 total votes to win the conference.

FSU was followed in the division by 2-time reigning ACC champion Clemson and Louisville. The Seminoles, Tigers and Cardinals were also the top three vote-getters to win the conference outright. No other Atlantic team received a first-place vote to win the division.

On the Coastal side, Miami was projected to win its first division crown. The Hurricanes received 103 first-place votes, followed by Virginia Tech’s 40, Georgia Tech’s nine, Pittsburgh’s seven and North Carolina and Duke, who each received four. Virginia was the only team that did not garner a vote to win the ACC Coastal.

When it came to individuals, FSU quarterback Deondre Francois received the second most votes to win ACC Player of the Year with 23. Louisville quarterback and reigning Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson topped that category by a wide margin with 113.
