During ESPN’s “College GameDay” broadcast from The Masters in Augusta, Ga., on Saturday morning, the GameDay crew discussed how Notre Dame’s victory over then-No. 1 Clemson last weekend has impacted the College Football Playoff picture.
Assuming both the Tigers and Irish win out in the regular season and meet again in the ACC Championship Game, Kirk Herbstreit believes if Clemson avenges its loss with a win in the rematch, that would assure the ACC of sending both teams to the playoff.
“If you think about it, if Notre Dame beating Clemson – if they’re able to win against BC and win out, and they go down the road and they get to the ACC Championship and Clemson wins all theirs – if they split, I think they’re both in,” Herbstreit said.
