The ACC is once again in the thick of the College Football Playoff hunt, with a familiar at the top of the pecking order once again.
Dabo Swinney's Clemson team remains the standard of the conference, though the Tigers are coming off a rare absence in the CFP in 2021 — the first time they have not made it since 2014. Will they remedy that in 2022 or miss it for a second straight year?
Beyond Clemson, the resurgence of programs such as Miami and Florida State, not to mention surprising appearances from teams such as Wake Forest, make the conference a fascinating battleground in 2022.
With that, The Sporting News breaks down how to watch those teams play all season on the conference's very own TV channel: the ACC Network:
