The College Football Playoff selection committee had an opportunity to jump Louisville ahead of Clemson this week, but the head-to-head result looms large.
When it comes to the playoff, there’s no real argument against a one-loss, conference champion Clemson has to get in before one-loss Louisville. The Tigers have the résumé.
At the ACC blog, however, we’re not into résumés or bodies of work or close head-to-head wins. We’re interested in answering one simple question: Which team is better?
Writers David Hale and Jared Shanker can’t seem to agree on that.
Hale: I can already feel the venom coming from Clemson fans before I type this, but it’s entirely possible Louisville is the ACC's best team.
