Here are some things to watch in the Atlantic Coast Conference for Week 12:GAME OF THE WEEK: No. 5 Clemson at Wake Forest. The Tigers (9-1, 6-1, No. 4 CFP) can clinch a spot in the ACC championship game and get back on track after a home loss to Pittsburgh spoiled their perfect season but ultimately didnt knock them out of the playoff picture.

Obviously theres a lot on the line for us, Tigers coach Dabo Swinney said.BEST MATCHUP: Pittsburgh run defense vs. Duke offense.

This might set up as a trap game for the Tar Heels, coming after last weeks loss at rival Duke and before a short week that precedes another rivalry game against N.C. State. The Citadel enters with a 10-0 record, the experience of having already beaten an FBS opponent -- the Bulldogs knocked off South Carolina last year -- and a ground game that could cause problems for the worst run defense in the ACC. I can assure you The Citadel is not going to come in here and feel intimidated by any means, UNC coach Larry Fedora said.IMPACT PLAYER: Florida State RB Dalvin Cook could put up some big numbers against Syracuses leaky defense.
