ACC weekend preview: Sept 21 - ACCSports.com
ACC football games don't get any bigger than this. At least not in the last five years. Fourth-ranked Florida State hosts No. 10 Clemson Saturday night in a nationally-televised matchup, marking the first time two ACC teams ranked in the top 10 have faced one another since 2007 (Matt Ryan and No. 2 Boston College beat No. 8 Virginia Tech, 14-10, that year). Is Florida State really good enough to be a national title contender? Or is Clemson still the best team in the ACC? This game should give us the answers.
