Clemson, Virginia Tech to face off in ACC Championship

The field for this year's ACC Championship is set with Clemson to face Virginia Tech at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla., on Dec. 3 at 8 p.m. EST (airing on ABC).

Virginia Tech (8-3) claimed the Coastal Division after North Carolina lost to NC State, 28-21, Friday. The Hokies, who are making their first appearance in the title game since 2011, will face Clemson.

The Tigers (10-1) wrapped up the Atlantic Division last week and are making their second consecutive appearance in the championship game.

This is the first time Camping World Stadium is hosting the ACC Championship. The game was moved from Charlotte to Orlando back in September after ACC presidents voted to move all championship games out of North Carolina following the state's decision to move forward with its HB2 legislation that discriminates those in the LBGT community.

Virginia Tech faces Virginia Saturday while Clemson has South Carolina to close out the regular season.

Both of these programs are familiar with Orlando.

Virginia Tech defeated Rutgers 13-0 in the Russell Athletic Bowl in 2012 while Clemson defeated Oklahoma 40-6 in the same bowl in 2014.
