It looks like someone else is on board with a two-ACC College Football Playoff.
Athlon Sports released their bowl projections on Friday, and the immediate thing that jumps out are the predictions for the 2016 version of the College Football Playoff. Like ESPN's Ivan Maisel, Athlon also has both Clemson and Florida State making football's final four.
The Playoff features a rematch of last year's Championship Game — Clemson vs. Alabama — in the Peach Bowl. Meanwhile, Ohio State would take on Florida State in the Fiesta Bowl. Athlon predicts Alabama and Florida State as the winners of those games, but they do not give a prediction for the title game.

Other games of note: Michigan takes on Washington in the Rose Bowl, which means Athlon is projecting the Huskies to win the Pac-12. Houston draws LSU in the Cotton Bowl, and Louisville and Notre Dame play in the Orange Bowl. Not sure how people would react to three ACC teams making it into the New Year's Six bowl, but it could certainly happen.
