ACC Bowl Projections – Week 7


ACC bowl projections for Week 7 of the 2016 season. FSU’s hex over Miami continues.


Once again, Florida State is the ACC’s king of the Sunshine State.

The Seminoles beat Miami for the seventh consecutive time, as Jimbo Fisher’s squad blocked the potential game-tying extra point in the final seconds.

Meanwhile, Notre Dame dropped to 2-4 after a loss to NC State and lost its slot in the Sun Bowl. The Fighting Irish may find getting into any postseason game very difficult.
