Championship Game
Clemson over Miami
Notes
A year ago Clemson went undefeated and won their 2nd title in 3 years. There is little reason to think Clemson will not win the ACC again in 2019 and make it to their 5th straight playoff. However they do have a lot of inexperience on the defensive side of the ball and going against a tough offensive minded coach early on before they get settled could end up in a Clemson defeat. But even with a loss (not uncommon even for Playoff bound Clemson teams) they will win the ACC and likely face Alabama in the National Championship game again.

We do expect both Florida schools to rebound this year and have much better seasons. However still being a year or 2 away from competing with Clemson. Syracuse looks to have another good season and potentially sit either at the bottom of the top 25 or just outside the top 25 again.
This makes 11 bowl teams for the ACC. They had 11 last year as well.
Clemson in the playoffs as the 2 seed. FSU and Miami in the top 15. Syracuse in the top 25.
