ACC Game Of The Year
Clemson at Notre Dame, Nov. 7
This was going to be a big deal before, but now that Notre Dame is in the ACC 15-team mix, this takes on a life of its own.

The Irish could lose at Pitt, and on the wrong day, Clemson could get tripped up by Virginia or Miami, but be shocked if both teams aren’t 7-0.
