No. 5 Clemson Tigers

First game they will lose: None

If you’ve watched Clemson this season, you’ve undoubtedly seen something pretty special happening. Dabo Swinney has become a master motivator and rallying point for this program, and they are playing some of the best football in the nation right now.

The Tigers are looking at two potential hurdles on their way to an undefeated season and a probable ACC Championship. Boston College — who has one of the top defenses in the nation — on Oct. 17, and then the big showdown with Florida State on Nov. 7 in Death Valley.

The Tigers and Seminoles are pretty evenly matched, but the home field advantage and quarterback play will make the difference and lift the Tigers to victory. This game will decide the ACC Atlantic Division, and will send the Tigers to their first ACC title game since 2011.
