Things to watch this weekend in the Atlantic Coast Conference:

Game of the week

No. 9 LSU (0-0) at No. 4 Clemson (0-0), Saturday, 7:30 p.m. ET (ABC).

The preseason ACC favorite gets an immediate test, coming in a Tigers-vs.-Tigers battle in Clemson's version of Death Valley.

Clemson returned to the top of the league last year and earned a berth in the expanded College Football Playoff, but more is expected this year for a team considered to be a national-title contender. LSU is picked to finish fourth in the SEC.

This pairs the two quarterbacks on The Associated Press preseason All-America team in Clemson's Cade Klubnik (first team) and LSU's Garrett Nussmeier (second team) and two players expected to be in the mix for the Heisman Trophy.

The undercard

No. 6 Notre Dame at No.
