Four straight ACC Championships. It has a nice ring to it.
Dabo Swinney and company became the first program in conference history to claim the feat on Saturday night with a 42-10 drubbing of the Pitt Panthers in primetime at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. The Tigers not only won their four straight title, but in the process claimed their fourth consecutive playoff appearance.
Clemson now heads to Dallas to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl.
After a near-perfect offensive performance vs. South Carolina, the Tigers found themselves off to the races from the start as running back Travis Etienne broke free for 75 yards on the opening drive to put Clemson up 7-0 early.
