The ACC just won a national championship last year, SO this take is already dead on arrival. Florida State was a playoff team, Clemson is a perennial power having a down year, and Louisville won 10 games. Miami being the only team in a meaningless May poll means nothing. The league's depth with NC State, Virginia Tech, and SMU is better than the Big 12's. Your red zone stat is cute, but it didn't get you to Charlotte. The ACC consistently competes at the highest level, and one preseason list doesn't change that reality.
