Clemson strengthened its hold on a playoff spot with a win over Florida State on Saturday while securing the ACC Atlantic, and North Carolina took a big step toward an appearance in the ACC championship game, too. Meanwhile, Miami and NC State are now bowl eligible, bringing the ACC's tally -- including Notre Dame -- to eight. Louisville can join that list this week with a win against Virginia, but it's slim pickings after that.
As for the bowl projections, North Carolina is trending up, and with FSU already poised to kick off next season in Orlando, Florida, there's a good chance the Russell Athletic bowl would take a pass on the Seminoles and take UNC instead.
