The ACC has made far more headlines to start the 2024 college football season than most would have expected. Florida State is a big reason for that, losing in the season opener against Georgia Tech in Dublin and then again to Boston College in a standalone game on Monday evening.
Clemson also lost the first game of its season to Georgia, while Virginia Tech fell to another SEC opponent in Vanderbilt.
That leaves NC State, Miami, and Louisville competing for spots at the top of the standings, while newcomers SMU and Cal each have big chances to establish themselves in Week 2.
There is no shortage of intrigue in the ACC for Week 2 of the season, and below are seven of the biggest storylines impacting the conference with games getting underway on Friday.
