This time last year, Clemson was considered the favorite to win the ACC in the 2025 college football season, especially with so many returners coming back from the 2024 ACC Championship team.
What a difference a year can make.
The Tigers never lived up to its lofty expectations in 2025, finishing the season 7-6, which included a loss to Penn State in the Pinstripe Bowl.
This coming season, however, the expectations are not so high for the Clemson Tigers.
The odds from Fanduel Sportsbook have been released for next year’s ACC race and Clemson is not as high as usual on its list of favorites. Clemson is listed at No. 4, at +1600 to win head coach Dabo Swinney’s 10th ACC Championship.
The Tigers have won eight of the last 11 ACC Championships and nine since 2011.
Here is how the rest of the ACC lines up:
1. Miami: -135
2. SMU: +700
3. Louisville: +1100
4. Clemson: +1600
5. Pittsburgh: +1700
6. Virginia: +1700
7. Virginia Tech: +2200
8. NC State: +2700
9. Cal: +2700
10. Georgia Tech: +3300
11. Florida State: +3500
12. Duke: +7000
13. Wake Forest: +7500
14. Syracuse: +10000
15. North Carolina: +12500
16. Stanford: +25000
