And no, it&#8217;s not USC-Notre Dame.<\/p>\n<p>This epic showdown is between #5 Florida State and #3 Clemson, which will be only the fourth time ever that two ACC teams in the top-5 will play against each other.<\/p>\n<p>The winner of this titanic match-up will most likely represent the Atlantic Division in the ACC championship game, and a game-winning performance from either the Seminoles\u2019 Jameis Winston or the Tigers\u2019 Tajh Boyd will only strengthen his case for the Heisman Trophy.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Florida State Seminoles vs. Clemson Tigers Game Details:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>When:<\/strong>\u00a08:00 PM ET, October 19, 2013<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:\u00a0<\/strong>Death Valley, Clemson, South Carolina<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Florida State vs. Clemson Odds:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Money:<\/strong>\u00a0Florida State (-150) vs. Clemson (+130)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spread:<\/strong>\u00a0Florida State (-3) vs. Clemson (+3)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Totals:<\/strong>\u00a0O\/U: 64.0<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Betting on Florida State<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/cbssports.com\/images\/collegefootball\/Jameis-Winston-FSU.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Jameis Winston made the greatest first impression possible in Week 1 against Pitt, where he went 25\/27 for 356 yards and 4 TDs. The redshirt freshman has not looked back since his epic debut and has led the #5 ranked Seminoles to a sparkling 5-0 record.<\/p>\n<p>Winston has proceeded to run the 3<sup>rd<\/sup>\u00a0most potent offense in the FBS (53.6 points\/game) like a seasoned pro, which has earned him a lot of early Heisman buzz. His 73.2% completion percentage is tied with reigning Heisman Johnny Manziel for 2<sup>nd<\/sup>\u00a0best in college football and his 17 touchdowns are tied for fifth with fellow Heisman hopeful Marcus Mariota.<\/p>\n[sc:NCAA490banner ]\n<p>Overshadowed by Winston\u2019s great play this season has been the Noles\u2019 stellar defense. The unit is giving up a miniscule 12 points\/game, 3<sup>rd<\/sup>\u00a0best in the FBS. They are also 7<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0in total yards (277 yards\/game), including the 2<sup>nd<\/sup>\u00a0best pass defense at 149 yards\/game.<\/p>\n<p>The Seminoles are coming off an outstanding all-around performance in their 63-0 demolition of Maryland. Winston threw for 393 yards and 5 TDs while the defense held the Terps to just nine first downs for the entire game.<\/p>\n<p>Florida State is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games on the road, but it has famously not won at Death Valley since 2001. Will Jameis Winston add to his growing legend and lead the Noles to victory? <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/college-football\/ncaa\">Bet now on the Florida State Seminoles<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Betting on Clemson<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/atlanticcoastconvos.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/08\/tajhboydfloridastatevclemsonjh4hl9qut3pl.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Not to be outdone by his younger counterpart, Tajh Boyd has had an equally impressive and Heisman-worthy season. The senior quarterback is averaging 297 yards\/game at 66.5% completion with 15 TDs against just 2 INTs. He has also added five rushing touchdowns for 6-0 Clemson.<\/p>\n<p>Boyd and the Tigers also had a terrific performance in Week 1 when they knocked of Top 10-ranked Georgia at Death Valley, by far their most impressive win of the season. Boyd produced 312 total yards of offense and was responsible for 5 Clemson touchdowns (3 passing, 2 rushing).<\/p>\n[sc:NCAA490banner ]\n<p>Meanwhile, Clemson&#8217;s defense has also proven to be one of the most fearsome in the country. Led by the nation\u2019s sack leader Vic Beasley (9.0 sacks), the Tigers are 10<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0in points allowed (16.2 points\/game), and they&#8217;re #1 in both sacks per game (4.0) and tackles for a loss (61).<\/p>\n<p>The Tigers nearly suffered a major setback last week as it was trailing Boston College in the fourth quarter. Fortunately, Boyd ran home a touchdown which put Clemson back in front and Beasley returned a fumble for a touchdown to secure the 24-14 victory.<\/p>\n<p>Boyd and the Tigers have put the \u201cDeath\u201d in \u201cDeath Valley\u201d against the Seminoles in the last decade. Clemson is 5-0 SU in its last 5 home games vs Florida State.
