Florida State or Louisville? It didn’t come with exactly the same cache as a playoff bid when the latest College Football Playoff rankings were announced, but it did have a lot of resonance in the ACC.
Yes, Clemson is still at the top of the ACC’s standings and moved up to the No. 3 spot in the rankings. The Tigers’ playoff berth is secure with a win Saturday in the ACC championship. But the next highest-ranked team would get an Orange Bowl berth, should Clemson make the playoff, and that was a big mystery.
Florida State has been playing better of late and just knocked off Florida.
