3. No. 17 North Carolina (9-2, 6-1)

The Tar Heel suffered a Playoff crushing loss against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets last weekend. However, the Tar Heels have an ACC title and New Year’s Bowl game to play for this weekend. They are in the title game already but this weekend against North Carolina State could be their first 10-win season since 2015.

2. No. 16 Florida State (8-3, 5-3)

The Seminoles are playing really solid football. Quarterback Jordan Travis continues to improve as a passer and the defense has been really good. The Seminoles have decimated Miami this season already and look for the sweep of the state when they play Florida to end the season. This rivalry really needs a Commander-in-Chief-style trophy.

1. No. 8 Clemson (10-1, 8-0)

The Tigers go into this weekend on the outside looking into the College Football Playoff, however, Clemson has won at least 10 games for the 12th consecutive season. The Tigers also have an opportunity to reclaim their place atop the ACC no matter what happens against South Carolina this weekend.
