ACC Week 3 bowl projections: Louisville primed for playoff
There's no question about Louisville's potential now. After a dominant win over Florida State, Lamar Jackson and the Cardinals are in the driver's seat for a spot in the College Football Playoff, but a date with Clemson looms just two weeks down the road.
On the flip side of the projections, it's hard to find six wins on either Duke or NC State's schedule at the moment, but if neither makes it, the ACC probably won't fill out its bowl allotment.
College Football Playoff semifinal at the Fiesta Bowl: Louisville Cardinals
Capital One Orange Bowl: Clemson Tigers
TIER ONE
Russell Athletic Bowl: Florida State Seminoles
TIER TWO
Belk Bowl: North Carolina Tar Heels
