Best and worst of ACC bowl season: Clemson leads the way

Time to take a look at the best and worst from the best bowl season in ACC history:

Best win: Clemson. No brainer here. Clemson beat No. 1 Alabama 35-31 to win its first national championship since 1981 with a final drive for the ages. In the first half, the Tigers looked like they had no answers for the strong Crimson Tide defense. But the game plan to wear them down started to work in the second half. Clemson ran 99 total plays and outscored Alabama 21-7 in the fourth quarter to complete the comeback win.
