Dwindling marbles: Stakes lowered for UNC, Clemson In ACC Championship Game

Posted Dec 1, 2022
Clemson and UNC are still playing for all the marbles in Saturday’s ACC Championship Game. It’s just that both teams hoped the number of marbles would be much greater. The ACC title and a berth in the Orange Bowl will still be at stake. Normally, the winner of the game has hopes of a berth in the College Football Playoff. This year is different, however.
