2. Clemson Tigers (7-0) at Florida State Seminoles (5-2)

Clemson might be the luckiest college football team on the face of planet Earth this season. Whether it has been kickers missing game-winning field goals, or you know, referees giving them the benefit of the doubt in Death Valley. The Tigers have a way of getting their way, every time they play at home.

However, they will not be in the comfort of tens of thousands of Tigers fans this weekend.

it has been widely discussed that Louisville fans need to be rooting for the Tigers to win out this season. It would mean that the Cardinals’ only loss would be to an undefeated conference champion, on the road, by less than a touchdown. I think Louisville would deserve a spot over many conference champions this year, but I’m not on the committee. Oh well.

This game will be very interesting. The Tigers have been on the verge of losing many times this season, but no one has been able to knock them off. Hopefully the Seminoles aren’t the first team to figure it out on Saturday.

Unfortunately, you have to root for Clemson if you’re a Louisville fan.
