No. 7 Miami the pick to win the ACC title, and fully loaded Hurricanes eyeing bigger prizes as well

The seventh-ranked Miami Hurricanes are widely expected to win the Atlantic Coast Conference title, according to the preseason poll. This marks their first ACC championship since joining the league 22 seasons ago. Miami is also eyeing bigger accomplishments, as indicated by their strong performance last season, when they reached the College Football Playoff championship game.

Wide receiver Malachi Toney is anticipated to be a standout player, having led the nation with 109 catches the previous year. Coach Mario Cristobal has reestablished the team's momentum, and the roster boasts several high-profile additions, including Duke transfer quarterback Darian Mensah, who played a crucial role in their success last season.

The team features a strong running back corps led by Mark Fletcher Jr., and offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson, defensive coordinator Corey Heatherman, and defensive line coach Jason Taylor are all returning. Despite losses to some key players and coaches, the Hurricanes appear poised for a successful season, with their next games against Clemson and Florida State on October 3 and 17, respectively, followed by a match against Notre Dame on November 7.
