2024 ACC Football Championship Odds – Conference Winner Betting Futures

The ACC could be deeper than it has been in a while this season, while there have been plenty of surprises over the last couple of years in this league.

Here, we look at the ACC championship betting landscape and determine which teams have the best chance to overcome the college football betting odds to win this league and make a run at the College Football Playoff.

ACC Football Championship Odds Preview

The three remaining contenders in this year’s ACC championship race are the Miami Hurricanes, SMU Mustangs, and Clemson Tigers. The Canes are the favorites according to the ACC championship betting odds, as Miami’s offense has looked incredible this season with Washington State transfer Cam Ward at quarterback.

Ward is getting Heisman Trophy betting consideration, with the question being whether or not he can sustain that level in the late stages of conference action. Miami’s defense has been its weakness this year, as they have allowed conference opponents to hang around in their games by simply giving up too many points.

As for Clemson, Cade Klubnik is under center again in 2024. Klubnik had his ups and downs in his first season at quarterback for the Tigers last season. Despite Dabo Swinney’s opposition to the transfer portal in recent years, Clemson is still hanging around in the conference title race, even if they will need some help down the stretch to get into the ACC title game.

Also in the early mix in the ACC championship betting picture is SMU. The Mustangs are in the first year of ACC competition after making the move from the American Athletic Conference. They have lost just once this season, with that loss coming against a BYU team that is in the Big 12 title conversation. But the biggest tests of the year are coming for SMU as they will have to prove they can deliver with a power conference title on the line.

Of course, the ACC does look a little different than it did a season ago thanks to conference realignment. The ACC took in SMU from the American, along with Stanford and Cal from the now-defunct Pac-12. SMU has become an ACC title contender instantly, which has been fun to watch so early in their time in the league.

ACC Divisions

There are no longer divisions in the ACC, as the conference got rid of them given the number of teams in the league at this point.

That change has been a net positive for the ACC, as the two teams with the best conference record have made the conference title game without any divisions to restrict which teams are going to compete for the title.

ACC Conference Football Betting & Handicapping

Clemson had made seven of the past eight ACC championship games and won all seven they appeared in prior to the 2023 season. Florida State won three in a row prior to that. Clemson also won in 2011 behind Tajh Boyd and blew out Virginia Tech in the process.

Pitt took advantage of a Clemson transition season and won their first ACC title in 2021, but this conference has largely belonged to two teams in its recent history.

Even with week-to-week handicapping in this league, there are so many inconsistent teams that anybody can beat anybody, with the exception of Clemson and FSU. Even Miami and Pitt, despite being big favorites over most teams in the recent past, are not foolproof to bet on a game-by-game basis.
