The Atlantic Coast Conference will crown its champion in the Queen City of Charlotte, North Carolina, on Saturday night when the No. 9 Clemson Tigers take on the No. 23 North Carolina Tar Heels. Clemson has been the king of the ACC since 2011, winning seven conference championships during that time frame. Though Clemson’s chances of making the College Football Playoff (CFP) are slim, it’s not mathematically impossible, so the Tigers will need to win, and more importantly, win big.
Clemson has dominated North Carolina for 20 years, winning seven of the eight matchups. North Carolina last defeated Clemson in 2011. Do the Tar Heels have enough talent to stick around and upset the Tigers?
