Obviously as most of us expected Clemson is taking care of business at Wake Forest and will win the ACC Atlantic. With that said, like most of the year, Clemson is not putting together a complete game. They played well in the 1st quarter but have played pretty badly in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, and if Wake Forest had any sort of offense they would be in this game.
I'm worried the worst case scenario might be setting up for UofL in terms of bowl games. I could easily see Clemson losing to VT or UNC in the ACC Championship game. At that point would UofL still make a New Year's 6 bowl game? I would doubt it as VT or UNC would go to the Orange Bowl and Clemson would be out of the playoff with a 2nd loss. Clemson probably then goes to the Cotton Bowl, or even worse, gets bumped out of the New Year's 6 bowl game. We could easily get bumped down to Taxslayer Bowl in Jacksonville or even the Russell Athletic Bowl in Orlando. Definitely not what we were all thinking 2 days ago.
Now that Clemson will be in the ACCCG we definitely need to hope that they win the ACC to prevent true chaos in terms of our possible bowl destination.
