Maryland v. Clemson

After beating Florida State, Virginia Tech, and Boston College, Clemson finally plays a game against a team we middle-aged fans think of as a "true" member of the ACC. Clemson and Maryland met for the first time in 1952, and have met every year since. Clemson leads the series 31-26-2. These games are usually close, although Clemson hammered Maryland 31-7 last year in Clemson.

The Terps and the Tigers have only played once for the UCFC. In 1955, Maryland held the title for almost the whole season. As part of that run, they beat Clemson 25-12 on November 12, 1955.

This year, at least on paper, Clemson should be a solid favorite. The Tigers are 6-0, and ranked number 8 in the nation, while Maryland is 2-3. Vegas is picking Clemson by eight. If Clemson's quarterback is healthy, they should win the UCFC for the fifth week in a row.
