In Week 9 of the 2016 football season, the ACC was represented by five teams in the Associated Press Top 25 poll, two of which are sitting in the top five. Louisville’s Lamar Jackson and Clemson’s Deshaun Watson are both strong contenders for the Heisman Trophy, and a huge ACC Atlantic Division matchup will take place on Saturday at 8:22 p.m. between Clemson and Florida State. The winner of that matchup has been the winner of the division every year since 2009.
On Thursday evening, Virginia Tech made its case for the Coastal Division crown with a thrilling 39-36 victory over Pitt.
