Everyone knows that the road to becoming the ACC champion goes through Clemson this season. The Tigers ran the table all the way up to the national title game where they lost to Alabama. With much of the same offensive players returning —- most notably Heisman contender Deshaun Watson —- Clemson is expected to put up some fireworks this year on that side of the ball.

The only real competition analysts and experts say Clemson faces is Florida State. That game takes place Halloween weekend, but until then here are all the odds via Bovada for all the teams in the conference to win the title game.
- Clemson: 3/2
- Florida State: 9/4
- Miami: 9/1
- Louisville: 10/1
- North Carolina: 10/1
- Pittsburgh: 14/1
- Virginia Tech: 14/1
- Georgia Tech: 16/1
- NC State: 20/1
- Duke: 40/1
- Syracuse: 75/1
- Virginia: 75/1
- Wake Forest: 75/1
- Boston College: 100/1
And here's a breakdown by division:
ACC Atlantic
- Clemson: 10/11
- Florida State: 5/4
- Louisville: 6/1
- NC State: 14/1
- Boston College: 40/1
- Syracuse: 50/1
- Wake Forest: 50/1
ACC Coastal
- Miami: 3/2
- Pittsburgh: 3/1
- Virginia Tech: 3/1
- North Carolina: 17/4
- Georgia Tech: 10/1
- Duke: 20/1
- Virginia: 40/1
So if you think the unthinkable could happen and Virginia or Boston College pull the ultimate season-long upsets then go ahead and throw some money down on it because that would be a huge payout. These numbers are likely to change before the season starts with potential suspensions, departures or other unexpected news derailing some of these programs' hopes and dreams.
