It is that time of the year for third-ranked Clemson.
As head coach Dabo Swinney likes to say, the Tigers are now officially in “the championship phase” of the season. With a win tonight at Virginia Tech, Clemson can clinch a sixth straight berth in the ACC Championship Game, which would extend its own record for consecutive appearances in the league’s title game.
The win would also guarantee a rematch with No. 2 Notre Dame in the championship game. The Irish handed Clemson its only loss in the ACC in the last three years with a 47-40 double overtime win on Nov.
