Can anyone challenge Clemson in the near future? Miami and Florida State are the most blue-blooded programs in the ACC after Clemson and they are both dumpster fires this season. You'd think that two teams in talent rich Florida with storied traditions could do a quick turnaround but man are they both incompetent right now. The hype around Syracuse has collapsed after the beating they got from Maryland. VT has been another traditional power but is barely staying above water these days.
Mack Brown has been recruiting his tail off and UNC seems to be on the rise. With a current top-15 class for 2020 he's bringing in talent and winning games. The Heels could be a contender. Bronco Mendenhall also seems to be building something at UVA. He had some really good seasons with BYU and looks to be bringing a winning culture to Virginia. These would be my two choice but I don't see anyone beating Clemson anytime soon. Not sure how the rest of the ACC is going to break Clemson's stranglehold on the conference.
