This weekend’s ACC Football Kickoff really brings football that much closer and the media did their ACC picks and All-ACC teams. Over at ACC Blogger, I did my own projections and here exclusively are my projected All-ACC and awards.

Championship Game (Charlotte, NC): Florida State Seminoles vs. the Virginia Tech Hokies, 7:45 ET, ESPN.

ACC Championship Pick: Florida State

• The Why: Two of the better offenses of the ACC will faceoff in the Queen City’s first shot at the ACC Championship Game. In the battle of QBs, I’ll take FSU with Ponder, but by far, the Hokies have the advantage at running back. The determining factor in this one will be which defense can make the big stop to win the ACC. And I have little confidence in either at this point, but give me the team with the top-flight QB and solid scheme to win the ACC.
• Score: 27-24 Noles
