ACC Kickoff from Charlotte, N.C. last week gave us our first look at the league's teams as we enter the homestretch of the college football offseason. It also allowed the ACC media to vote on who will win the conference in 2016. Despite several picking a different outcome, the media has picked the Clemson Tigers to repeat as ACC Conference champions. Last year, the Tigers defeated North Carolina 45-37 in Charlotte, N.C. Clemson was picked to win the Atlantic division, with UNC picked to repeat as Coastal champs. The total tallied votes are below, courtesy of 247Sports.
