3. Clemson just won the ACC Championship

Saturday night did not turn out the way that everyone around the Louisville football program would have hoped. However, it doesn’t mean that the Cardinals’ ACC Championship hopes are over, it just means that it’s going to be an uphill battle from here on out.

Louisville’s ACC schedule gets much, much easier and both teams still have to go through a few more months of ACC football. Don’t count the Cardinals out just yet.

Clemson still has to face: Boston College, NC State, Florida State, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Wake Forest, and South Carolina.

The Cardinals will need the Tigers to lose two more ACC games if they want to make their first appearance in the ACC Championship game this year. Florida State could be their first, but the Cards will need someone else to pull off an upset.

Next: Number Two

Again, it’s not going to be easy, but Clemson hasn’t clinched the ACC Atlantic Division just yet. Don’t lose hope Cards fans!
