RALEIGH, N.C. -- Clemsons Deshaun Watson still thinks about carrying an unbeaten record into the final game of the season before losing to Alabama with a national championship on the line.The Tigers and their star quarterback are the preseason favorite to win the Atlantic Coast Conference and be positioned to return to the College Football Playoff, but theres another team -- Florida State -- that enters the season with a playoff shot within reach.In fact, its not impossible that both teams could find themselves in playoff position coming out of a league where the balance of power is tipped heavily toward the Atlantic Division that includes both the Tigers and Seminoles.We know how to get there, Watson said of last years title-game loss. Weve experienced it and weve got to start over this year and try to get back there.Clemson (14-1) and Florida State (10-3) have combined to win the last five ACC championships. Theyve combined to go 57-3 against the rest of the league, while the last time either lost to a division opponent came nearly four years ago.Weve been able to recruit well and have very good players and weve been able to coach them well, Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher said of the gap between the Atlantic powers and the rest of the league. Not that other guys havent, but weve been able to be fortunate in certain games. I mean, weve created a culture that right now were both playing pretty well.THE FAVORITESAtlantic DivisionClemson. The Tigers were the preseason pick by media members over the Seminoles. While Louisville is poised to make a leap in Year 3 under Bobby Petrino, it would be a shock if the Tigers and Seminoles dont finish atop the division.Coastal DivisionNorth Carolina. The Tar Heels are coming off an 11-win season and are trying to become the first repeat Coastal champion since 2011 in a typically wide-open division.TOP PLAYERSWatson, Clemson. Last season, he was ACC player of the year, third in Heisman Trophy voting and the Manning Award winner as the nations top quarterback. All as a sophomore.Dalvin Cook, Florida State. The Seminoles have their own Heisman candidate with a junior running back who ran for an ACC-best 1,691 yards and 19 touchdowns last year.Elijah Hood, North Carolina. The junior is a physical presence for the Coastal champions after running for 1,463 yards and 17 scores.NEW FACESMark Richt, Miami. He spent the past 15 seasons at Georgia but is now at his alma mater, trying to provide a jolt to a one-time power that has yet to win the Coastal title.Justin Fuente, Virginia Tech. The former Memphis coach is replacing longtime Hokies coach Frank Beamer, taking over a program that had gone from annual 10-win seasons to consecutive 7-6 finishes.Bronco Mendenhall, Virginia. The Cavaliers have one winning season in eight years. Now its up to the former BYU coach to turn things around.Dino Babers, Syracuse. The former Bowling Green coach takes over a Syracuse program that has seven wins in the past two seasons.Eli Drinkwitz, North Carolina State. Drinkwitz is the Wolfpacks new offensive coordinator after leading one of the nations top offenses at Boise State. He inherits a team looking for a new quarterback.James Conner, Pittsburgh. This is a welcome-back season for the running back and 2014 ACC player of the year who went down with an opening-game knee injury, then battled lymphoma.ON THE HOT SEATBoston Colleges Steve Addazio is coming off an 0-8 ACC season.PICKSAtlantic: Florida State. In what could be a coin flip between two talented teams, the Seminoles home-field advantage for the Oct. 29 meeting with the Tigers could be the difference.Coastal: North Carolina. The Tar Heels are breaking in a new quarterback but have several key pieces back from an offense that averaged 40.7 points and 486.9 yards per game. That could again provide cover for a questionable defense, though its matchup with Miami and quarterback Brad Kaaya comes on the road Oct. 15.League champion: Florida State.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardap and the APs college football site at http://collegefootball.ap.orgTimberwolves Jerseys China .

Regardless of the outcome of the Leichhardt Oval clash, the teams will meet next weekend in the second qualifying final.The Cowboys earlier cemented fourth spot and a meeting with the Storm at AAMI Park with a 32-16 win over Gold Coast.While centre Cheyse Blair scored a try in each half, Melbournes stoic defence was key to their victory, repelling the Sharks attacking threats to keep them tryless until the 69th minute.Rugby-bound winger Marika Koroibete showed what a loss he would be to the NRL with some scintillating runs and bone-crunching defence.Centre Will Chambers, who missed three months with a fractured foot, also looked back to his best, while the Storm pack gave the Sharks no room to move.Cronulla, aiming for their first minor premiership since 1999, threw everything at Melbourne but never really looked like they were in the hunt.They suffered a setback in the first half losing two forwards in Chris Heighington (concussion) and Jooseph Paulo (knee) as the Storm went up 10-2 at the break.ddddddddddddThe Sharks could have further worries with a late hit by hooker Michael Ennis taking out Storm five-eighth Blake Green as he put Blair through for his first try.Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy said winning the minor premiership was extra special given the torrid injury run his team had gone through during the season.It means a fair bit for us, Bellamy said.Its a symbol that youve been the best team in this competition for seven months.It doesnt mean youre going to be the best for the next month but to finish at the top of the heap of this competition isnt easy to do.Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan said his team created plenty of opportunities but couldnt finish them off to put pressure on the Storm.In the second half, the line breaks were five-three to us so we broke their line a couple of times but balls didnt go to hand and there was an intercept there, Flanagan said.We had our opportunities and, if wed have taken them in the first half, it could have been a different story but typical Storm - they held in there.We werent at our best and they deserved the win.Flanagan said he believed Heighington would be fit to face the Raiders, while Paulo would be sidelined for a few weeks with medial ligament damage.
