2025-2026 College Football Week 8 Betting Online
The Atlantic Coast Conference gets overlooked by the Big Ten and SEC, but it produced two quality playoff teams in 2024 who are expected to contend as returnees come December. Those programs are the SMU Mustangs and Clemson Tigers, who will clash in Week 8.
The SMU Mustangs joined the ACC last year and agreed to receive no television rights. The Ponies ended up in the ACC championship game and the College Football Playoff (CFP). SMU has been a dormant program since receiving the Death Penalty in 1987. Thanks to the ability of big-money donors to cover the costs, SMU was able to join the ACC and attain Power Five status. For the first time since the 1980s, the Mustangs are taken seriously on the national stage.

The Clemson Tigers were also a CFP team in 2024 and could be a sleeper for the 2025 national championship. Head coach Dabo Swinney has been criticized for his refusal to utilize the transfer portal, but he finally adapted this past offseason. The Tigers have a quality team that a strong portal and recruiting class will complement. The worst is over for Clemson, which will be a favorite to win the ACC.
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will host the USC Trojans in one of the great historical rivalries on NBC Prime Time. Sadly, this could be the final meeting of this epic series as Conference realignment and the CFP have changed the finances and priorities of coaches and programs.
