The path is laid out perfectly for Clemson. After an 8-0 start, the Tigers entered the first College Football Playoff rankings at No. 1, and they can add to an already impressive resume Saturday with a win over arch nemesis Florida State.
But the big question now is, what happens if Clemson loses -- either to the Seminoles or somewhere else down the road? Does the ACC have another playoff contender? FSU and North Carolina would seem to be possibilities, but the road to the playoff won’t be nearly so clear as it is for Clemson.
Record: 8-0 (5-0 ACC)
Rank: No.
