After two weeks off from ACC play, Clemson will begin a stretch of five straight conference games on Saturday, Oct. 24, when the Tigers face the Virginia Tech Hokies. Kickoff at Memorial Stadium in Clemson, S.C. is set for 7 p.m. ET on ESPN. Saturday's contest could prove to be pivotal in the race for ACC Championship Game positioning.

At 2-1 in conference play, Clemson is one of five teams with one loss or fewer in ACC play this season. Behind 4-0 Miami (Fla.), that group includes 2-1 Clemson, 4-1 Wake Forest, 3-1 SMU and 2-1 North Carolina. That quartet of one-loss teams has only two games against one another this season, a Sept. 19 Clemson win against North Carolina, and a looming Nov. 14 matchup between Wake Forest and SMU.

Virginia Tech is among a crowded group of nine teams currently standing with two conference losses. Clemson holds a 9-6-1 all-time edge in home games against the Hokies. However, Saturday's game will mark only the third time that Virginia Tech has visited Death Valley since joining the ACC prior to the 2004 season.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR THIS WEEK

• Clemson attempting to improve to 25-12-1 all-time against Virginia Tech.
• Clemson attempting to win an eighth consecutive game against Virginia Tech, dating to the 2011 season when the Tigers defeated the Hokies twice. It would be Clemson’s longest streak in the series since winning nine consecutive games against the Hokies from 1955-85.
• Clemson attempting to make Virginia Tech the seventh team against which the Tigers would carry an active winning streak of eight or more games.
• Clemson hosting Virginia Tech for only the second time in Dabo Swinney’s head coaching tenure. The teams’ lone meeting in Death Valley in Swinney’s tenure to date came in 2012, a 38-17 Clemson victory.
• Virginia Tech making only its third trip to Death Valley as a member of the ACC. Since joining the conference, the Hokies are 1-1 in Memorial Stadium with a win in 2007 and a loss in 2012.
