Lou Groza Award: Three ACC placekickers have been honored as semifi nalists for this year’s Lou Groza College Placekicker of the Year award. Named from the ACC were Miami’s Michael Badgley, Louisville’s Blanton Creque and Syracuse’ Cole Murphy.

Wuerff el Trophy: The ACC had three of the 11 football student-ath-letes selected as semifi nalists for this year’s Wuerff el Trophy, the most of any conference. The Wuerff el is regarded as the premier award in College Football recognizing Community Service. Honored from the ACC were NC State P A.J. Cole III, Pi T Brian O’Neill and Duke OL Gabe Brandner.

NFL Quarterbacks: Eleven quarterbacks from ACC schools have started an NFL game this season. Four of those signal callers are from NC State, including Philip Rivers (Chargers), Russell Wilson (Seahawks), Jacoby Brisse (Colts) and Mike Glennon (Bears). They are joined by Clemson’s Deshaun Watson (Texans), Boston College’s Ma Ryan (Falcons), North Carolina’s Mitch Trubisky (Bears), Pi ’s Tom Savage (Texans), Virginia Tech’s Tyrod Taylor (Bills) and Florida State’s Jameis Winston (Buccaneers) and E.J. Manuel (Raiders). All 11 played in the ACC.

Clemson has won 10 or more games in each of the last six years. The Tigers and Alabama are the only two teams that currently have ac- ve streaks of six or more years with double-fi gure victories. The Tigers

are only the 11th team to have had 10 wins in six successive seasons.

ACC COACHING SUCCESS Six ACC coaches – the most of any conference – rank in the top

20 of all ac ve coaches in career winning percentage with a minimum of fi ve years as a head coach. Florida State’s Jimbo Fisher ranks fourth (.779), followed by Clemson’s Dabo Swinney (sixth, .772), Miami’s Mark Richt (seventh, .748), Louisville’s Bobby Petrino (11th, .710), Georgia Tech’s Paul Johnson (15th, .667) and Virginia’s Bronco Mendenhall (20th, .652).

Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson ranks fourth among all ac ve head coaches in career victories, having recorded 182 wins in his 20-year career. Miami’s Mark Richt is ed for eighth with 163 wins,

followed by Louisville’s Bobby Petrino, who is ed for 17th with 115 wins, Dave Clawson of Wake Forest (109) who is 21st, Virginia’s Bronco Mendenhall, who is 23rd with 107 wins, and Duke’s David Cutcliff e, who is 24th with 100 wins. Clemson’s Dabo Swinney ranks 26th with 98.

NATIONAL TITLES & HEISMAN TROPHY WINNERS Two of the last four na onal champions have come from the ACC

(Clemson in 2016, Florida State in 2013), the only conference with mul- ple winners over that stretch. The ACC has had a team in the champi-

onship game in three of the four years.

The ACC is the fi rst conference since 1994 to have a football na on-al tle winner (Clemson) and a Heisman Trophy winner (Lamar Jackson, Louisville) from two diff erent schools in the same season.

DR PEPPER ACC FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME This season, The Dr Pepper ACC Football Championship Game will

be held at Charlo e’s Bank of America Stadium for a seventh me, re-suming an agreement between the ACC and the Queen City venue that runs through the 2020 season.

The 13th annual Dr Pepper ACC Football Championship Game is set for Saturday, Dec. 2. The game will again be shown in prime me on ESPN (at 7:45 p.m.) or ABC (at 8 p.m.)

The six Dr Pepper ACC Football Championship Games held in Charlo e have been extremely successful from a fan experience and a endance standpoint. The games have averaged over 69,000 fans per contest, including sellout crowds in 2010, 2011, and 2015. An ACC Football Championship record crowd of 74,514 in 2015 set an a en-dance record at Bank of America Stadium. Over the last seven years, the ACC ranks second among all conferences in a endance at its football championship games.

Since 2011, the ACC Championship has been the most compe ve of the four major conference championship games, as it has been decid-ed by more than fi ve fewer points per game than any other champion-ship.

ACC AFFILIATED BOWL GAMES

2017 ACC Bowl Quick Selec on OrderThe ACC is in the fourth year of six-year contracts with its current bowl partners.

College Football Playoff (four teams)If the ACC Champion is not in one of the CFP semi-fi nal games, it will appear the Capital One Orange Bowl. There is no limit on how many teams the College Football Playoff may choose from a par c-ular conference. There is also a possibility an ACC team, if it is ranked high enough, could be chosen for a berth in one of the New Year’s Six Bowls. This year the New Year’s Six at-large berths will be in the Goodyear Co on, PlaySta on Fiesta and Chick-fi l-A Peach Bowls.

Capital One Orange BowlThe ACC champion, if not in the College Football Playoff , will appear this year in the Capital One Orange Bowl. The opponent will be the high-est-ranked available team from the SEC, Big Ten or Notre Dame. If the ACC champion is selected for the College Football Playoff , then the next highest ranked ACC team will serve as the host team in the Capital One Orange Bowl.

Citrus BowlIn a year in which the Capital One Orange Bowl (this year) will not host the na onal semifi nals, and the ACC opponent in the Orange Bowl is a team from the Big Ten, then the ACC will have a team selected to the Citrus Bowl prior to the selec on for the Camping World Bowl.

Camping World BowlThe Camping World Bowl has fi rst pick of ACC teams in 2017 a er the College Football Playoff , the Capital One Orange Bowl, the Host Bowls (if applicable) and the Citrus Bowl (only should the ACC Orange Bowl opponent be a team from the Big Ten).
