ACC Bowl Projections – Week 10


ACC bowl projections for Week 10 of the 2016 season. Clemson survives its trip to Tallahassee and remains on track for a College Football Playoff berth.


It was another wild ending in an ACC game. And it, of course, involved Clemson.

Deshaun Watson had 430 yards of total offense to help the Tigers hold off Florida State, as the quarterback’s 34-yard pass to Jordan Leggett with 2:02 remaining gave Dabo Swinney’s squad the lead for good. The Tigers remain on track for a spot in a College Football Playoff semifinal game.

Meanwhile, Louisville survived a serious scare against Virginia, and it will be interesting to see where the selection committee slots the Cavaliers on Tuesday night when the first set of CFP rankings are released.

Where might your favorite ACC team be heading for the holidays?
