The Miami Hurricanes have never claimed an Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) title during their tenure in the league, despite being the preseason headline act for the 2026 season. Miami joined the ACC in 2004, but have advanced to the ACC championship game only once, in 2017. The Hurricanes are currently ranked seventh in the nation and boast preseason player of the year quarterback Darian Mensah, along with versatile playmakers such as Mark Fletcher Jr. and Malachi Toney.
SMU and Louisville are the top contenders, with Louisville bolstering their roster by adding Ohio State transfer Lincoln Kienholz to their offense. The conference is set to transition to a nine-game football schedule by 2027, with Clemson and Florida State striving to regain their former status as elite teams. The ACC title game will be held on December 5 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
