ACC Schedule for Week 8: ACC title game race heating up

Clemson heads to Miami this weekend in an ACC elimination game. Here's what's happening around the rest of the conference.

Clemson (4-2, 2-2 ACC) heads to Miami (4-2, 0-2 ACC) this weekend in a game that will eliminate the loser from the ACC Championship Game. The game will be a battle between the ACC's best offense (Miami - 501.8 YPG) and best defense (Clemson - 261.8 YPG). 

While the Tigers and Hurricanes are going at it, up north in Tallahassee, No. 16 Duke and No. 4 Florida State will be going head-to-head. This one is crucial for Clemson's title game hopes. The Tigers need to be pulling for Florida State (4-0 ACC) to knock off Duke (2-0 ACC) if they're going to have a shot to climb past Duke in the standings.
