This week, #1 Clemson (8-0, 5-0 ACC Atlantic) hosts #16 Florida State (7-1, 5-1 ACC Atlantic) in a 3:30 kickoff at Memorial Stadium.
Coming off a drubbing of Syracuse, in which starting RB Dalvin Cook and QB Everett Golson sat due to injury, the Seminoles have been thrust into the unfamiliar role of would-be spoiler and underdog. With injuries mounting and another year of depth lost to the NFL, this ain't your daddy's Seminoles team. That said, expect them to show up with the mindset of ACC Champion (a distinction they've held since 2012), and bring a well-coached and deeply talented squad to the Valley.
