3. Clemson Tigers (9-1)

If it wasn’t for a Washington loss, the Tigers could have been out of the top four teams for the first time in a few weeks. The Tigers finally dropped their first game of the season on a last minute field goal to the Pittsburgh Panthers. It was definitely a shocker that they dropped their first game this weekend.

Clemson has a huge game against Wake Forest on the road next weekend. If they lose, then Louisville is going to the ACC Championship game. However, if they win, they will head to the big game and have a chance at going into the playoffs.

I expect the Tigers to rebound in a big way next weekend, but we all saw how tough that Wake Forest defense is. However, I don’t think they have enough on offense to knock off Clemson, even at home.

Next: No. 2
