The Clemson football team beat the North Carolina Tarheels on Saturday night and captured its’ 15th ACC championship. The 45-37 victory also gave coach Dabo Swinney his second conference title and a chance to contend for his first national championship. But standing in his way will be Bob Stoops and a revengeful Oklahoma Sooner team. Last year, the Sooners were embarrassed 40-6 by the Tigers in the Russell Athletic Bowl and Clemson is the last team left on their pay back tour.
The ACC championship game was sold out for the third time in Charlotte and a Clemson team was involved in two of the sellouts.
