The ACC has five teams ranked in the AP poll, which is much better than last season, when Louisville and Clemson ended the season at No. 21 and No. 22, despite both finishing 18-2 in conference play. But the ACC Regular Season Champion will again be decided by whether anyone in the conference can reach the same level as Duke.
North Carolina won the ACC Regular Season title two seasons ago, but after the Blue Devils' dominant season last year and great start to this season, Duke remains far ahead of the pack with its odds to win the conference title.
For anyone interested in placing a bet on the ACC Regular Season Champion, Kalshi allows bettors to place real money on the outcome in all 50 states.
ACC Regular Season Champion Odds
Duke is the overwhelming favorite, but there are plenty of teams that could challenge the Blue Devils this season.
Louisville and Clemson are against factors in the title race, with the Tigers going undefeated in their first four games in conference play, and the Cardinals still ranked inside the top 20, despite two early conference losses. Miami, in its first year under head coach Jai Lucas, remains undefeated in conference play and could factor into the conference title race despite flying under the national radar.
North Carolina has already lost a conference game to SMU on the road, but the Tar Heels will be a contender down the stretch. Virginia is another perennial threat to win the conference, and a triple-overtime loss to rival Virginia Tech is the only blemish on the Cavaliers' conference resume so far.
While Duke remains the overwhelming favorite to win the conference, the ACC race will be a lot deeper than it has been in recent seasons. The Blue Devils will match up with the Tar Heels in the final game of the conference season on March 7, a battle that could determine the winner of the ACC Regular Season Championship.
What is Kalshi?
Different than a traditional sportsbook and available in all 50 states, Kalshi allows users to make predictions across several unique markets, including sports, entertainment, elections and even weather.
Kalshi operates on a contract-based system where users buy "contracts" (priced between 1–99 cents) based on whether they believe a specific event will happen. The price of each contract fluctuates in real time based on market sentiment and like the stock market, traders can sell positions early to lock in profits (or minimize losses).
