ACC Women's Basketball Tip-off

The Preseason Media Poll and Preseason All-ACC teams were released after a tipoff event held at the Westin in Charlotte, North Carolina on October 11, 2022.[16]

At the media day, both the head coaches and the Blue Ribbon Panel predicted that Louisville would be league champion. In prior seasons, the league released a poll of head coaches and a Blue Ribbon Panel poll, but this year those polls were combined. The votes from the league's head coaches counted twice in the combined poll.[17]
