Third-ranked Clemson will try to capture its 19th ACC Championship in school history at 7:30 p.m. tonight when the Atlantic Division champion Tigers take on the Coastal Division champion and No. 23 Virginia Cavaliers at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Clemson entered the 2019 season as the only program in ACC history to win four consecutive outright titles. With a win against Virginia, the Tigers can join the 1971-75 Alabama Crimson Tide as the only members of any active FBS conference to win five straight outright titles, while Clemson can also become the only program since the creation of conference championship games in 1992 to win five consecutive conference championship games.
