But because of the Tigers' remaining nonconference schedule (FCS program South Carolina State, UConn and South Carolina) and the fact they don't play North Carolina, Notre Dame or Miami during the regular season, they might not reach the CFP for a seventh straight season, especially if teams like Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State and Oklahoma finish unbeaten or with only one loss. 13Ĭlemson wins the ACC (again) but misses the CFP: If the Tigers don't beat Georgia in Saturday night's opener in Charlotte, they still have a great chance of running the table in the ACC, which they've done three times in the previous six seasons.
