October 16, 2016
ACC bowl projections for Week 8 of the 2016 season. Clemson survives NC State’s upset bid and remains on track for a College Football Playoff berth.
No one said making a second consecutive College Football Playoff appearance would be easy, and that’s exactly the feeling that Clemson experienced on Saturday in its near-loss to NC State.
Can the Tigers keep winning despite continually turning the ball over? Dabo Swinney’s squad has 16 giveaways on the season, though it had 27 last year and still reached the national championship game. The Tigers are still slated for a date with Ohio State in this week’s projections, though the seeds are now flipped.
Meanwhile, which ACC team wants to win the Coastal division? The Miami-Virginia Tech tilt on Thursday night looms large.
Where could your favorite ACC team be headed this holiday season?
