Clemson returns to action Saturday at Virginia Tech and will qualify for the ACC championship with a victory over the Hokies in its final regular season game.
Second-ranked Notre Dame (9-0, 8-0 ACC) has already earned a berth in the championship and awaits its opponent for the title game which will be held Dec. 19 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Should the No. 3 Tigers (8-1, 7-1) fall to the Hokies, Miami (7-1, 6-1) would advance to the title game with a win over Duke on Saturday and another victory against North Carolina next week.
