The Clemson Tigers and North Carolina Tar Heels are set to face each other in the ACC Championship on Saturday, December 3.
The Clemson Tigers remain undefeated in conference play, but haven’t done so without a few close scares against Syracuse and Wake Forest. UNC has losses to Georgia Tech and NC State in the ACC, while Clemson recently fell to South Carolina. Both teams have lost to Notre Dame.
The ACC announced that this season will be the last in which the conference is still split into divisions, but at the moment, each team plays eight in-conference games; six against divisional opponents and two against cross-division rivals. Five teams also play a ninth de-facto conference game against partial ACC member Notre Dame.
Here are the latest standings in the ACC ahead of the 2022 ACC Championship Game, scheduled to be held at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte on December 3.
