7. The ACC Championship game is still on the table

The Clemson Tigers will play their last conference game of this season this weekend in Wake Forest. Not to mention, they will be playing for an opportunity to go to the ACC Championship game next month.

At the same time, we all saw how well that Demon Deacons’ defense played against Louisville last Saturday. This is going to be a game where Clemson needs to be focused and not come in lazy. If they do, Dabo Swinney could have a monumental loss on his hands.

At the same time, the chances of Wake Forest beating Clemson are very thin. Anything can happen, but that’s why this point is number seven.

However, If the Tigers do get beat, then Louisville will be heading to the ACC Championship for a chance at punching their tickets to the College Football Playoff.

Next: Number Six
