The Most Underrated College Football Thing Was …
Clemson 30, Louisville 24
Clemson keeps on winning.
I’m a lonely wolf when it comes to this, but I’ll believe Clemson isn’t winning the ACC Championship when it finally doesn’t happen.
The Wake Forest loss to North Carolina wasn’t actually counted as an ACC conference game – don’t ask – so it still has to lose twice for Clemson to possibly take the Atlantic Division.
NC State, at Clemson, at Boston College. The Demon Deacons could lose two of those three, or even all three.
The bigger issue for Clemson is NC State – it has to lose twice, too, because tie-breakers become sticky.
It could lose at Wake Forest, and/or to Syracuse, and/or to North Carolina, and …
It’s going to have to take something crazy for Clemson to pull this off, but it actually won’t be that insane.
After all the disappointment for a program that’s in National-Title-or-Failure mode, it keeps on fighting. The O was still lousy and inconsistent, but DJ Uiagalelei was terrific in the comeback against Louisville, leading the way to 13 unanswered fourth quarter points and the win.
Again, a whole lot of weird things have to come together for the Tigers to pull this off, but after six straight ACC championships, just say you’ve been warned.
