Here are the Tar Heel Blog ACC Preseason Awards

College football season is finally upon us! Yes, it might not be everybody’s favorite, but at the very least it signals an end to the monotony of summer sports (sorry not sorry to all the baseball fans out there). And with the advent of the season come preseason predictions that will no doubt look ridiculous by the time some games have actually been played. Of course we had to join in on the fun. Check out who we at Tar Heel Blog have making the All-ACC Team this year, as well as winning the end-of-season superlatives:
