our entire season hinges on the NC State game
Oct 9, 2017, 12:15 PM
|

It is very possible, if we lose to NC State, that an 11-1 Clemson team that lost one game on the road to a ranked team, could end up blocked from the ACC championship and in a second-tier bowl. NC State Will probably lose to Notre Dame, however no one else on thier schedule looks to be a threat, besides us. NC state is absolutely capable of "Soonering", but I think they may be legit this year.
If we lose at NC State, we will see a 10-2 Wolfpack team, who lost to South Carolina, playing in the ACC championship game. If we do not sneak in at number four, Clemson could find itself assigned to the Russell athletic bowl.
My point is the NC State game will determine our entire season. We will crush Florida State and Georgia Tech, but without a win in Raleigh, it may not matter . I really hate that this is the case, but right now I feel it is

If they lose to ND

Don't we go to a 3 way tiebreaker for ACC standings, as long as ND doesn't lose to any more ACC teams?

ND is not a football member. Their football games do not count for anything except a win/loss season record. Geez people.

Can they play in the acc champ game? No they can’t. So why would their record count against ACC teams?

We're not losing to the pack. They had us out of our minds last year by targeting Gallman. We were stunned. Watch for us to be rabid against them. We will destroy the pack. Step away from the Deptula.

If we are 11-1 we will play for a NY6 bowl and possibly still make the playoffs. Relax

You are right, it is possible that we lose to NC State. But you just assume that ND beats NC ST and chalk it up as so. It is very possible that NC State loses 2-3 more games this year.
It is also possible, probably more so, that we beat NC State.
Why even bother with these hypothetical scenarios? It's dumb. Hence, dumb post is dumb

How about this one...
Oct 9, 2017, 12:26 PM

NC state loses to ND, but beats Clemson to finish 10-2.
Clemson loses to State and finishes 11-1 by blowing out SC on the road.
VT wins out and beats NC state in ACCCG to win ACC.
Clemson easily has the best resume among the 3 teams with an easy road win at VT plus an OOC win against possible top 10-15 Auburn. Would we get punished for losing the "wrong game" or would we get the Ohio State treatment from last year?
I know, I know, just beat State.

If we lose to Syracuse or Georgia Tech we're in big trouble so I'm going to worry about those two games before I can direct my worries to NC State.

biggest game on the schedule. Potentially without our starting QB. Weird mojo with a Friday night game, though we handled it well last year at BC so I'm guessing Dabo & Co are sticking to the ######. Last year's Pitt loss at home was part of that weird Super Moon weekend so I'm not taking any chances with my focus here.
One game at a time.
Go Tigers.

And go on to beat State and the ACC we are still in the playoffs. If we lose to State we watch the ACC championship game at home and probably dont make the playoffs especially since the osu mistake last year. Conference champions should always trump non champions with the same record

one game at a time. I can do whatever i like and it won't influence our performance one bit.
And, The Citadel aside, these are the two easiest games left on our schedule by a fairly considerable margin. We are going to destroy GT at the LOS just like last year, and their defense is currently 103rd in rushing efficiency allowed. In 2017, if you can't stop Clemson's running game you are in A LOT of trouble, and there's really nothing that points to GT being able to do that.

It may be possible to still get into the playoffs with a close loss to NCS. we now have enough "power" credibility to do what Ohio State did last year. That being said - let's not tempt fate. Win-em-all!

over a 11-2 ACC Champion NC State, because of strength of schedule (see Ohio State last season).
We have national bona fide points from the past 2 seasons that they would not have.

Even at 12-0, we would need to defeat what could be a 12-0 Miami team in the ACCCG to make the playoffs
