Clemson at Virginia Tech is the Champs Sports Bowl Game Of The Week
No. 15 Clemson takes its undefeated record on the road this week to face off with fellow-unbeaten No. 10 Virginia Tech in a rare ACC battle of top-15 teams. Thanks to quality wins against Auburn and Florida State, the Tigers continue to climb the polls after beginning the year unranked.

Florida State at Clemson is the Champs Sports Bowl Game Of The Week
The past two ACC Atlantic Division champions square off this weekend in a pivotal conference matchup as Clemson welcomes Florida State to Tiger Stadium and Death Valley. The Seminoles and Tigers have split the last 10 games in the series, with the home team winning each of the last four.

Manuel got the start for the ‘Noles in place of the injured Christian Ponder and scored his team’s only touchdown in the 16-13 win.

Rutgers at North Carolina is the Champs Sports Bowl Game Of The Week
Week two of the college football season picks up significantly for both Rutgers and North Carolina as the schools face off in a Big East-ACC battle. Both teams opened the 2011 campaign against non-BCS programs and cruised to lopsided victories. UNC is a popular pick for this year’s Champs Sports Bowl after a stunning double-overtime win against Tennessee in last season’s Music City Bowl. Rutgers, returning 17 starters from a year ago, could be a surprise in the Big East.
