ACC Championship 2015: North Carolina vs. Clemson Complete Game Preview

For the first time in a few seasons, the ACC will have a brand-new champion and a fresh name to place in the race for the national championship.

Undefeated and No. 1 Clemson knocked off defending conference champion Florida State earlier this season in Death Valley, and the Tigers are one win away from being firmly locked into the College Football Playoff. Dabo Swinney's team is led by Heisman contender Deshaun Watson at quarterback, and his elite defense can rely on the talents of stars such as Shaq Lawson and Mackensie Alexander.

No. 8 North Carolina will look to shock the college football world in its home state and prove it belongs in the national championship picture.
