They are handling a pretty good Virginia Tech team, which should clinch the Coastal Division.
Next week will tell the tale, as they host Notre Dame for ABC's prime time game. If they win that, then I think it's safe to say Richt has them back.
If the broadcasters are to be believed (we all know they get stuff wrong from time to time), Richt has 2 assistant coaches responsible for recruiting Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami Dade counties. What a luxury. They could become a dominant force again.
The best we can hope for as a conference is a 1 loss Clemson team, ranked highly, versus an undefeated Miami team, also ranked highly, in the ACC Championship game. This would easily allow one ACC team in the playoff, and depending on how other leagues shake out, an outside shot at 2 teams in.
