Desmond Howard and David Pollack think Clemson has no shot at making the College Football Playoff if the Tigers were to lose today to No. 2 Notre Dame in the ACC Championship Game in Charlotte. However, Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fallica think otherwise.
“I think it depends on how the game is played. If they lose a hard-fought game, I think they would have a strong case with their only two losses being to a top 3 team in Notre Dame,” Herbstreit said on College GameDay Saturday morning.
Howard and Pollack think Texas A&M can get in over Clemson if the Tigers lose, using A&M’s win over Florida earlier this year as a better win than the Tigers’ win over Miami.
