In Episode 20 of The Breakdown Bros, we break down the ACC with a full Vegas-data tier list heading into the 2026 college football season.

Miami sits in the Natty or Bust tier with huge expectations, while SMU and Louisville look like legit playoff teams. We also debate where programs like Virginia, Virginia Tech, Clemson, Pitt, Georgia Tech, Florida State, Duke, North Carolina, Syracuse, Stanford, and Boston College really belong based on win totals, ACC title odds, and national title odds.

Then we hand out coach report cards for three interesting programs: Jeff Brohm at Louisville, Sonny Dykes at TCU, and Josh Heupel at Tennessee. Brohm looks like one of the best fits in the ACC, Dykes is still carrying the weight of that 2022 TCU run, and Heupel has to prove Tennessee can become more than just a fun offense. We also have the head coaches from Houston and SMU as well.
