This article covers my record predictions for each ACC team heading into next season. Since Notre Dame is independent, I added their prediction at the end of this.
Boston College (6-6)
Boston College went 3-9 last season and that surprised a few people. I think they will bounce back this upcoming season and make a bowl game.
Clemson (10-2)
This will be Clemson’s first full season with Cade Klubnik under center. I don’t see them going back to the undefeated team they were a few years ago. I have them losing two games.
Duke (6-6)
Duke did better than a lot of people thought last season, going 8-4. I see them regressing back to 6-6 however.

Florida State (11-1)
I believe Florida State is the best team in the ACC. I have them with one loss, but wouldn’t be surprised if they could run the table.
Georgia Tech (5-7)
Georgia Tech kept their interim coach, Brent Key after he brought a little bit of life into this program at the end of last season. I see them winning five games in 2023.
Louisville (6-6)
Louisville has Jeff Brohm as their coach but lost their starting QB, Malik Cunningham. I have them going 6-6 this season, but watch out for Louisville in the near future.
Miami (7-5)
Miami seemingly underachieves every season. I’m setting their bar at 7-5 but could see them doing a lot worse or a lot better and it wouldn’t surprise me.
North Carolina (9-3)
The Tar Heels are coming off a trip to the ACC Championship and return star quarterback, Drake Maye. If they can get their defense straightened out, they could be even better than 9-3.
North Carolina State (7-5)
NC State is losing QB Devin Leary to Kentucky but will bring in lefty Brennan Armstrong from Virginia. I don’t see NC State losing more than five games at most.
Pittsburgh (7-5)
I believe Pitt will regress from their 9-3 record in 2022. I have them at 7-5 and still in a bowl game next season.
Syracuse (7-5)
The Orange shocked a lot of people last year and where even ranked at one point. They finished 6-6 in the regular season and I have them improving on that record by one game in 2023.
Virginia (3-9)
Virginia is losing their QB and already had a bad record last season. I don’t see them improving much.
Virginia Tech (3-9)
The other Virginia school is Virginia Tech and they are in a very similar position. They won only three games last season and one was to Old Dominion. I don’t see them getting much better next season.
Wake Forest (6-6)
Wake Forest will regress in 2023 after losing Sam Hartman to Notre Dame. I have the Demon Deacons going 6-6 next season.
Notre Dame (10-2) (Honorable Mention)
I added Notre Dame to this due to their agreement with the ACC and the fact they’re in the ACC in almost every other sport. I like this Irish team and think they got their missing piece in Sam Hartman. I have Notre Dame going 10-2 in 2023.
