State of Louisville preseason predictions for 2021 ACC football

ACC Football media day is finally here. The State of Louisville team weighs in with their predictions

The second day of ACC Football Media Day gets underway today with several head coaches, including Louisville’s Scott Satterfield, set to take center stage.

There will be storylines galore as normality returns to college sports. A jam-packed offseason with tons of new changes will have coaches & athletes discussing hot button topics like vaccines in their program, NIL, playoff expansion, and others. We’ll also see preseason projections and All-ACC honors voted on by media.

There will be coach speak. There will be hyperbole. There will be headlines. And there will be absolutely nothing that changes the trajectory on the field. Still, media day will unofficially kick off the beginning of the 2021 season and kick the final 40+ days into high gear.

With that in mind, we decided to make our own media predictions for the 2021 ACC football season here at the State of Louisville.
