ATLANTIC COAST CHAMPIONSH­IP

-

No. 3 Clemson (11-1) vs. No. 23 Virginia Tech (9-3) at Camping World Stadium Orlando, 5 p.m., Channel 7 A loss by Clemson could allow a second Big Ten Conference team into the national semifinals, and it’s quite possible. Clemson not only lost to Pittsburgh, it was lucky to defeat North Carolina State, which blew a field-goal try at the end of regulation that gave the Tigers the chance to win in overtime. Clemson quarterbac­k Deshaun Watson is a dual threat who tends to run more against tougher competitio­n. That could be bad news for Virginia Tech because in each of their three losses the Hokies have seen the opposing quarterbac­k run for more than 100 yards.
