Already No. 4 in the College Football Playoff rankings, the Clemson Tigers have taken control of their destiny in the ACC Atlantic Division with a hard-fought 38-31 road win against the No. 21 North Carolina State Wolfpack at Carter-Finley Stadium on Saturday.
NC State appeared to convert a 4th-and-10 to the Clemson 3-yard line with 18 seconds remaining, but the officials called the Wolfpack for an illegal-shift penalty. Quarterback Ryan Finley's final pass was picked off by K'Von Wallace to seal the Tigers' win.
Following a stunning 27-24 loss to Syracuse in Week 7, the defending national champions have bounced back with a solid win over Georgia Tech and a key victory over the Wolfpack in Week 10.
