No. 4 – Miami Hurricanes (9-4 in 2016)

Mark Richt has things at least moving in the right direction in Coral Gables – if he can convince Brad Kaaya to stick around for another year, they might move up this list.

No. 3 – Clemson Tigers (13-1 entering CFP Title Game)

They have been the Game of the Year the last three seasons – but losing Deshaun Watson and others means they will take a step back even if they can win the title this year.

No. 2 – Louisville Cardinals (9-4 in 2016)

A three game losing streak to end the season hurts, but this game will be the ACC’s Game of the Year next season – hopefully scheduled early when it’s hot in Tallahassee.
