Welcome to conference preview season. In this, our second of eight conference preview RTC Podblasts that we’ll be rolling out before the dawn of the season, ACC microsite columnist Matt Patton (@rise_and_fire) joins us to discuss the key storylines, teams and players to watch among the 15 teams of the ACC. As always, Shane Connolly (@sconnolly114) hosts the podblast, and the full rundown of topics is below. Make sure to tweet at us (@rushthecourt) if you have any opinion on which team should be the gang’s new favorite heading into the 2014-15 season.
