Will home-field advantage determine ACC champion between Clemson, Florida State?

Florida State and Clemson are all but guaranteed to start the season ranked in the top 5. Could home-field advantage determine who wins the ACC and makes the College Football Playoff?

Consider this stat: Over the last three years, Florida State leads the nation with a 21-0 record at home. The game between Florida State and Clemson is in Tallahassee, Florida, on Oct. 29. The teams have combined to win the last five ACC championships, so it is natural to project Clemson or Florida State will hoist the trophy again.

Clemson has not won at Doak Campbell Stadium since 2006.
