Dec. 05--ACC championship game
TV: 7 p.m. at Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, N.C.; ABC-7.
Line: Clemson by 4.5.
Records: North Carolina 11-1, 8-0 ACC; Clemson 12-0, 8-0.
Last meeting: Clemson won 50-35 on Sept. 27, 2014, in Clemson, S.C.
On the offensive: These are the top scoring offenses in the ACC. North Carolina averages 41.3 points with a league-best 6 yards per rush, and Clemson is at 37.9 points with the top-rated passing attack (67.2 completion percentage).
Getting defensive: The Tar Heels will try to contain Clemson QB Deshaun Watson, who needs a big night to cement a trip to New York for the Heisman Trophy ceremony. UNC is tied for 17th nationally with 24 takeaways.
The number: 26. Consecutive games the teams have combined to win. South Carolina beat North Carolina in the opener.
The talk: If Clemson loses, who gets the final playoff spot -- UNC, Stanford, Ohio State or the 12-1 Tigers? It would make for quite a debate.
Teddy Greenstein's pick: The Heels are the trendy pick, but the Tigers are the rock-solid team. Clemson 37, North Carolina 27.
