On this episode of ACC Nation Podcast/Radio we take a look at the preseason ACC Nation Power Poll. Plus the latest Pick Six Previews' Top 25 and how ACC Nation teams are ranked. We toss in Athlon Sports' Top 50 college football players to give you a taste of what's to come. Then, a look at the number of AD's in the ACC with the gravitas that it takes to become commissioner.

With the latest COVID 19 reports going south there is concern that some teams may be in a bad spot. We highly recommend wearing a mask especially if you expect sports to return anytime soon.

In the coming weeks we'll be talking with the likes of A.J. Black about Boston College and Mike McDaniel about Virginia Tech as our annual football previews crank up. At the same time we'll sneak in some great information from sports publications. On the list, Athlon Sports, Lindy's and Street & Smiths to help round out your knowledge base.

Brett Ciancia at Pick Six Previews has brought out the salty dogs. His annual Top 25 and review of teams stirs the pot.

Gravitas

Who are the ACC Nation players in Athlon Sports' Top 50 college football players list? We run down the list which has a nice mix of offensive and defensive players. Who are the four quarterbacks that have made the list?

It takes gravitas to make things come together, to make things happen as an ACC Commissioner. John Swofford has proven that he has it. We look at the list of potential candidates that may replace Swofford next year. Gravitas is in full display with these individuals.

As a sidebar the guys look at adding a new team or two to the conference. The new financial realities brought about by the pandemic may necessitate some geographic shifts. Who would you add?

Some thoughts on John Swofford and what he has delivered for the ACC.
