Breaking down one potential three-way ACC tiebreaker scenario for Clemson

The conference race is heating up.

Invitations for the party of the expanded playoff are drawing closer, and the ACC might have too many teams with an RSVP.

Heading into the final weeks of October, four teams in the conference hold an undefeated record. Clemson (5-0), Miami (3-0), SMU (3-0), and Pittsburgh (3-0) have all faired well within their ACC matchups.

However, this tiebreaker we’re tackling only concerns three teams, with Clemson and SMU both playing the Panthers, which may result in Pat Narduzzi’s squad being left out of the equation.

For the sake of hypotheticals, what would happen if that became a reality and both the Tigers and Mustangs took Pittsburgh out?
