Can anyone please verify Clemson’s 2021 football schedule

I heard it from a “highly placed unnamed source” the 2021 Tiger season is as follows. It starts with Ga @BOA, and next Death Valley home games with SC State, U Conn, and Wake Forest. Then one away game at Willy Brice.
Clemson finishes the season with Miami or UNC in the ACCCG.
Based on the binding, long standing, past practice of the CFP Committee (I.e., last year!), it is beyond cavil when Clemson wins out and is 6-0, the Tigers get no worse than #3 in final CFP.
This sounds right but can someone please confirm?
TIA
Go Tigers!

Thanks and sorry I wasn’t clear. I think Clemson has seen the path

to the CFP final four only requires a team play six (6!!) games! Why would any team want to play more than six games with the inherent wear & tear and the risk of a loss (see FL v LSU)? So, for 2021 my source says the Tigers are ONLY playing six games (5 regular season and the ACCCG). That’s what I need to confirm.
Of course that means Dabo would have to rank his Tigers at #11 in the Coach’s Poll but as that has no impact on the CFP, I can live with that!
I am worried that other slower schools will catch on before too long and soon everyone will be playing a five game regular season. This creates a massive problem for college football fans: what to do will all those extra football free Saturdays?
Go Tigers!

Don't know why we don't require USuC to play us at home since they backed out this year. If for nothing else the loss of revenue they caused. The SEC and the coot administration pulled this stunt and we are paying for it. They lost nothing other than another loss.

I agree the SCar 2021 game should be at Death Valley but

for whatever reason it doesn’t look like that will happen. I really don’t understand why?

Probably has something to do with

future schedules/contracts. We've scheduled our future OOC games based on when we are at home/on the road vs. SCar. If we change and start hosting SCar in odd years, it would mean we'd have odd years with two home games vs. marquee opponents, and even years will be two away games - more importantly, the even years would then mean only 6 home games as opposed to 7, as Dabo/D-Rad like to have.

To be a fair comparison, we’d need to swap UGA for Duke.***

at least one quality win. Bulldogs (GA not SCstate) will fill that spot nicely for a resume builder. Admittedly, as in past years, a rout of SCar will actually hurt our SOS. But what can Clemson do about that - not much.
Go Tigers!

That would be a higher SOS than OH05!
