Acc title game got more interesting w wake win

BC at chestnut Hill after we put a beatdown on wake. QB seemed a little dinged up for wake. Probably will be sore after CBV boys smoke em.
Plus jorkevic (sp) being back looked good at GA tech. BC with us probably much closer with jorkevic. Just saying our odds went up little more because wake will be playing BC in a must win game.
Nancy will be in must win game with a UNC team needing to salvage something of a season. One can dream.

Meant to say, I didn't give wake much chance to lose to BC but with BC QB... May be possible.

We have to win, BC has to beat Wake, and UNC has to beat NCS

Sounds like the Bowden era. This has to happen and this and this. Did that ever work out?

For the record, I don’t think that ever worked out.

this season that, even if we beat Wake, eventually we will have to be UNC fans for a day. Swofford has got to be grinning in his hidey hole somewhere.

Well said. Hartman gave up 3 interceptions to Nancy State. Our defense is much better than Nancy State. If he gives up 1 or 2 to us, our defense will prevail and our offense will muster up enough points for us to win. I am tired of all the negativity about our team. I have been around for a very long time and I have seen some bad Clemson teams in the distant past that would have been ecstatic to have won 7 games. This isn’t the best season but it sure isn’t the worse and we still can have a very decent year, We need to more positive about our Tigers!

I almost took you seriously before you said beat down on Wake. We have not had a beat down of any team this year and no I am not counting either S.C. State or UCONN in this equation. So dream on if you want, but after what I saw yesterday, I am wondering which of our Quarterbacks will be on the field for our last possession against Wake, hoping we are in the lead when we get the ball.

I'm pretty sure that Nancy State has 2 ACC losses and Clemson has 2 ACC losses and Wake has 1 ACC loss so if Clemson beats Wake it'll be a 3 way tie. I really expect UNC to beat NC State and Wake to beat BC in that case you'll have Clemson and Wake with 2 ACC losses with Clemson holding the head to head. If by chance NC State beats UNC and Clemson beats Wake then Wake beats BC it'll go to the highest ranked team. So Clemson really needs to enter the top 25 even if it's 25 bc if they beat Wake they have a real opportunity to jump in front of Wake and State giving Clemson the defacto Atlantic division title. We'll see. We need guys to get healthy and the offense has to score some points. I expect the defense to keep the game competitive but the offense cannot give up TD's to the opposing defense like they have in every big game this year almost.

Wake has no ACC losses. UNC loss was out of conference.

We and BC must beat Wake to have a tie with them in the standings. Wake doesn't have a conference loss as the UNC game was considered an OOC game. Another NCST loss would be huge, don't know if we'd climb past both schools in the rankings to win a 3-way tie at 6-2.

Only way we take a big jump in rankings is if we blow out Wake, which seems unlikely given the offensive product on the field this season.

Hate to burst any bubbles but DJ can't beat Wake. He's too busy making endorsement money. Looks like he has no game. The game is too fast for him to compute.

I do not know the order of the tiebreakers after head-to-head, but I know the only way we win the division for sure is if Wake loses to us and BC and NCSU loses to either Syracuse or UNC. If we all finish 6-2, Wake would have lost 2 in the division, which is a tiebreaker somewhere in there and may eliminate it, leaving only NCSU and Clemson, with NCSU having won the head-to-head.

That's the first tiebreaker, you are correct. Don't see State losing to cuse but do think it's a good chance to lose against UNC. Better chance for BC to beat wake now that jerkovovic is back with BC.
