ACC Tournament
The 2007 Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Championship Game was held at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida. The ACC tournament 2007 featured the Boston College Eagles and the Virginia Tech Hokies in a regular-season college football game. Virginia Tech was determined the conference's champion for the 2007 season, defeating Boston College 30?16.

The ACC Championship Game matches the victors of the Coastal and Atlantic Divisions of the Atlantic Coast Conference. A conference championship game was added in 2005, as a result of the league's expansion. Former Big East members Miami, Virginia Tech, and Boston College were included. With the induction of Boston College, the ACC consisted of 12 teams, allowing it to hold a conference championship game under NCAA rules.

Florida State dominated over Virginia Tech, 27?22 in the first ACC Championship game. The next year, the event took place in Jacksonville, Florida, pitted Wake Forest against Georgia Tech. Wake Forest won the tournament 9?6. Before the 2007 season began, most sports writers and pollsters predicted that Florida State would win the Atlantic Division while Virginia Tech won the Coastal Division. This set up a rematch of the 2005 ACC Championship Game.

On October 25, Boston College moved to Blacksburg, Virginia for a Thursday night game broadcast on ESPN. In heavy rain, Virginia Tech's defense was leading for most of the game. The victory apparently sealed Boston College's route to a national championship game. Over the following two weeks, however, Boston College was upset by Florida State and Maryland. Virginia Tech, meanwhile, was undefeated through the remainder of its schedule, including a division-clinching win.

Most pre-game media coverage of the event cast the tournament as an opportunity for Virginia Tech to avenge its earlier loss. Media coverage was directed at the teams' offensive capabilities. Boston College player Matt Ryan was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year in the week leading up to the game. Excellent performances in a division-clinching victory at Clemson and against Miami seemed to earn Ryan to Heisman-candidate form. Ryan appeared to be the biggest offensive threat for Boston College.

Following the loss, Virginia Tech would win five straight games to win the Coastal Division of the ACC, while Boston College would stumble, losing two games before defeating the Clemson Tigers. Moreover, the winner of the game was awarded an automatic bid to the Bowl Championship Series 2008 Orange Bowl game in Miami, Florida.

The Boston College ground offense was led by running back Andre Callender, who had perhaps his biggest game of the year during the division-clinching match against Clemson. That day, Callender finished with 92 receiving yards and 75 rushing yards. Due to the success of Matt Ryan's passing attack, however, Callender was used mostly as a backfield receiver. Callender was also the Boston College's leading receiver statistically during the 2007 season. In the regular season, he amassed 905 yards rushing, 613 yards receiving, and 13 total touchdowns. Callender's normal backup, A.J. Brooks, was suspended for the ACC Championship Game.
