5. ACC Atlantic Division Title

The first thing that should be pointed out about this game is the fact that it is essentially the ACC Atlantic Division championship game.

Both the Tigers and the Wolfpack come into this one undefeated.

The winner of this game will essentially have a one-loss cushion for the rest of the season. Meaning that, if NC State was to win- for example, the Wolfpack would have to lose two games before the Tigers would be able to win the division and that’s assuming that Clemson goes undefeated from that point on.

This game is huge. It’s going to be extremely important for the Tigers to come away with the home victory and take the lead for the division.
