Clemson’s road to another College Football Playoff got a little more difficult on Wednesday while, at least on paper, it looks like Notre Dame’s got much easier.
While Clemson could likely play top 25 teams in Miami, Pittsburgh, Virginia and Virginia Tech in its revised ACC schedule, which also includes a road game at a possible top 5 or top 10 Notre Dame team, the Irish got what seems like a pretty favorable schedule in its first year playing as a football member in the ACC.
Notre Dame was already scheduled to host Clemson, Duke and Louisville and play neutral site games against Wake Forest and Georgia Tech and a true road game at Pitt.
