Clemson is right back where it is supposed to be, playing for another Atlantic Coast Conference Championship. This is the Tigers’ fifth straight appearance in the league’s title game and it’s their seventh since 2009.
Clemson’s opponent this year is the Virginia Cavaliers, who came out of the Coastal Division thanks to its win over Virginia Tech last Friday. This will be the Cavaliers first trip to the ACC Championship Game, the sixth different opponent the Tigers have faced in their seventh title appearance.
In Clemson’s five consecutive runs to the ACC Championship Game, Virginia is the fifth different opponent the Tigers will face.
