The No. 17 Clemson Tigers and the No. 8 SMU Mustangs will face off in the ACC Championship this week at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. The match will take place on Saturday, Dec. 7, and is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

The winner will likely earn the No. 3 seed in the College Football Playoffs, along with a first round bye. Clemson moved into the championship game after No. 12 Miami lost last week to Syracuse. This is Clemson’s opportunity to make the 12-team CFP format, which could take SMU out of the running altogether.

The Tigers are coming off a loss to the University of South Carolina, while the Mustangs have won nine straight games. ESPN analytics are giving SMU a nearly 54 percent chance to win, and the betting odds are also favoring the Mustangs by two points.
