Now that we are getting into the middle of October and leaves are turning, we can have a better feel for how conference races and playoff hopes are for several college football teams.
It looks as if we are going to have a repeat of the last two years with Alabama and Clemson fighting it out for the top spot.
Clemson sits atop the ACC with a 6-0 record and a favorable schedule the rest of the way. Their only really tough game is Nov. 4, when they travel to North Carolina State. Sure, they have to play Florida State but as we have seen so far this year, Florida State is down.
