CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Larry Fedora believes his North Carolina Tar Heels deserve a spot in the College Football Playoffs if they snap Clemson's 15-game winning streak Saturday night in the ACC championship.
"I most definitely do," The Tar Heels fourth-year coach said Friday at a news conference. "If we beat the No. 1 team in the nation, then I believe this team deserves to be in the College Football Playoff."
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney agrees.
"We've got three top-10 teams in this league," Swinney said. "I don't think there's any question that the ACC should be in one of them games.
