Rankings from AP Poll.

The 2020 Atlantic Coast Conference football season, part of the 2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season, was the 68th season of college football play for the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). It began on September 3, 2020, and ended in January 2021. For 2020, the ACC consisted of 15 members in one division. [1]

The original 2020 schedule was released on January 22, 2020. [2] On July 29, a revised concept of the schedule was released in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was announced that teams would play a ten-game conference schedule, which would include Notre Dame. An option was left for one out-of-conference game, provided that game was played in the home state of the ACC school. [1]

Previous season

Clemson defeated Virginia 62–17 in the ACC Football Championship Game. [3] The victory, along with a 12–0 regular season record, earned Clemson a berth in the College Football Playoff. The Tigers were the number three seed in the playoff and faced Ohio State in the 2019 Fiesta Bowl. The Tigers won the game 29–23 and advanced to the National Championship game where they lost to LSU 25–42.

Preseason

ACC Kickoff

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ACC announced that its 2020 Football Kickoff would be held virtually instead of at the Westin in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Kickoff was scheduled for July 21–23, 2020. [4] On July 13, it was announced that the Kickoff was postponed until further notice. [5] On September 4, 2020, the ACC Preseason Media Poll was released. [6]
