One of the top rivalries in the ACC is set to be renewed again on Saturday.
Florida State, who is the fourth-ranked team in the country, is traveling to “Death Valley” to take on Clemson.
It’s been a disappointing season for Clemson so far after many pundits thought Dabo Swinney would have the program back on track. The program is 2-1 but is currently unranked after losing 28-7 to Duke just a couple of weeks ago.
Despite the Tigers’ struggles, ESPN’s Bill Connelly is projecting them to take down the Seminoles, 29-26. His SP+ forecast is all over that upset.

It’s a bit surprising considering how good the Seminoles have been this year and how quarterback Jordan Travis is set to play.
He got a bit banged up against the Eagles of Boston College last week but is ready to go for this one.
The Tigers have won the last seven against the Seminoles, including last year’s contest in Tallahassee, 34-28.
We’ll have to see if they can make it eight when Saturday’s matchup kicks off at Noon ET.
