There was angst among ACC supporters before the season as to whether the conference would be the Power 5 conference left out by the College Football Playoff selection committee.
Take a breath. A deep one. The conference looks to be safe for now.
Clemson is No. 1 in the initial College Football Playoff rankings.
The selection committee showed last season it truly does evaluate on a week-to-week basis and the rankings can be very fluid, but the Tigers are in a solid position to remain in the top four though the final rankings. The FPI gives Clemson the best chance to win a Power 5 conference without a loss or just one.
