Clemson Form

Clemson come into the 2023 season looking to get right back in the race to win a National Championship.

The Tigers finished 11-3 a year ago, winning the ACC Championship Game, but there were some disappointments along the way.

They were beaten 35-14 at unranked Notre Dame and also suffered a 31-30 defeat at the hands of South Carolina that knocked them out of the top 10.

Clemson did go 4-1 against ranked teams though, beating #21 Wake Forest 51-45, #10 NC State 30-20 and #14 Syracuse 27-21, before downing #24 North Carolina 39-10 in the ACC Championship.

The Tigers failed to close out with a Bowl Game victory however, losing 31-14 to #6 Tennessee in the Orange Bowl.

Duke Form

Duke will have their sights set on build on a successful first season under head coach Mike Elko, who led them to a 9-4 record and a Bowl Game win.

The Blue Devils did not face a ranked team on their schedule but they did manage some notable wins.

The most notable victory was a 45-21 success when they visited the Miami Hurricanes in late October.

Duke won four of their final five games of the regular season, wrapping things up with a 34-31 victory over Wake Forest.

The Blue Devils then backed that up in the Military Bowl, beating UCF 30-13 to end the season on a high.

Verdict

Clemson have been the dominant force in the ACC and are the team to beat once again.

Duke did well last season but they were never truly tested, so we are backing the Tigers in this one.
