A week ago, it seemed as if Saturday afternoon's matchup between No. 20 Clemson and host Pitt wouldn't have any real stakes regarding the College Football Playoff. Miami then was upset by Georgia Tech, and so the Hurricanes and Tigers are tied with one loss each in Atlantic Coast Conference play as mid-November approaches. As the Tigers (7-2, 6-1) travel to Pittsburgh this weekend, a Clemson berth in the ACC title game is still possible, which means an automatic berth in the 12-team CFP remains attainable. SMU stands alone in first place in the conference with a 5-0 recodr.
