3. ACC

TEAMS RANKED IN THE ROTHSTEIN 45: 8 (Virginia, Duke, Florida State, North Carolina, Miami, Louisville, Syracuse, Georgia Tech)

Expect balance and depth to return in 20-21. In addition to the eight teams listed above, Clemson, NC State, and Notre Dame will all begin practice on Oct. 14th with a realistic chance of hearing their name called on Selection Sunday.

The Big Ten and the Big 12 topped the list.
