Odds to Win 2019 ACC Football Title

*Odds taken 07/12/19

Clemson has won four straight ACC titles.

Clemson Crushes The Competition

In the past four seasons, Clemson has gone 38-2 against ACC opposition. The Tigers were 10-0 in 2015 and 2018. Pittsburgh (2017) and Syracuse (2016) were the only blots on the record in those seasons.

The Panthers are the lone ACC team to win a game at Clemson in the past five years.

Last season, the Tigers won their 10 ACC games by an average margin of 31.7 points per game. Only the Orangemen (27-23) kept them within single digits.

Clemson beat Louisville 77-16, Wake Forest 63-3 and Florida State 59-10.  North Carolina fell by 34 points, Duke by 29 and Georgia Tech by 28.

In the ACC Championship Game, the Tigers crushed Pittsburgh 42-10.

What’s Happened To The ACC?

Back in the 1980s and 1990s, the ACC could call itself a power conference. In the 80s, the ACC led all conferences by winning four national titles. No conference earned more national titles during the 1990s than the three garnered by the ACC.

And it wasn’t just one school getting in done. Clemson won a national title in 1981. In Miami, the Hurricanes laid claim to #1 in 1983, 1987, 1989, and 1991. The Florida State Seminoles were national champs in 1993 and 1999.

Miami’s last national title came in 2001. Florida State were national champs as recently as 2013 but lately have fallen on hard times. Last season, the Seminoles were 5-7 and 3-5 in the conference.

With their two College Football Playoff victories last season, the national champion Tigers won half as many postseason games as the rest of the ACC combined (four).

At Least the Coastal Will Be Contested

While the Tigers will roar in the ACC Atlantic, a number of teams could win the Coastal. Over the past six years, six different schools have represented this division in the ACC title game.

Virginia, Virginia Tech, Miami and Pittsburgh are all legit contenders.

Sadly, they’ll only be competing for the right to be rolled by Clemson. The Tigers won the last two ACC Championship Games by a combined score of 80-13.

One And None

The absolute certainty of the 2018 ACC season is that Clemson will crush any school in its path. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence is a Heisman Trophy candidate and he’s really only scratched the surface of his ability. Running back Trevor Etienne ran for an FBS-best 24 touchdowns in 2018 and was named ACC player of the year.

The only question is by how much of a margin will the Tigers win the conference? Based on the current odds being offered within the ACC, Clemson would be at least a 22.5-point favorite against any other team.

You Can’t Bet That

The only regular season ACC game where Clemson figures to be tested this season is a September 14th contest at the Carrier Dome against Syracuse.

The odds on their other ACC games will be so lopsided, it won’t be profitable enough to risk betting on Clemson.
