1) North Carolina State Wolfpack
The Wolfpack are loaded at the quarterback position. As only a redshirt freshman quarterback, Russel Wilson was named First Team All-ACC. In 275 attempts, Wilson only threw one interception and led the ACC in passing efficiency.
A threat to run as well, Wilson had almost 400 yards rushing in 2008. As a backup, the Wolfpack have Mike Glennon a four-star quarterback from the class of 2008. Glennon is more a traditional dropback passer, and at 6'6" has great height for a quarterback.

2) Wake Demon Deacons
Riley Skinner has been underrated his whole college career. Wake Forest was one of his only Division One offers. The fact is Skinner is one of the best quarterbacks in the ACC. In 2007, he led the nation in completion percentage, and during his career has completed nearly 70 percent of his passes.
Skinner is not overly athletic, but is a good decision-maker in Jim Grobe's offense, and was part of a 2007 Deac squad that won the ACC. Behind Skinner it's a little thin. Wake Forest doesn't have a backup who's thrown a pass in college. Sophomore Sklyar Jones has some running ability and is the likely backup.

3) Florida State Seminoles
The Seminoles might have finally found the quarterback they've been looking for since Chris Wienke left earlier this decade. Christian Ponder showed plenty of potential last season, leading Florida State to nine wins last season. He threw for over 2,000 yards, and as a second-year stater should improve quite a bit.
Ponder also has good mobility and ran for 423 yards last year. After Ponder is a five-star redshirt freshman E.J. Manuel. Manuel broke a finger on the first day of spring practice, and didn't get to play during the spring.
