We do not control our own destiny to the ACC Championship
Nov 9, 2020, 9:51 AM

I maybe wrong but I unfortunately think there is a way we win out and do not make it to the ACC Championship game and thus miss out on the playoffs. The two best WINNING PERCENTAGE teams make it to the ACC Championship. Notre Dame is a given if they win out. What if one of our three remaining games is cancelled due to COVID and cannot be made up before Dec. 19. If Miami wins out and is able to play all of their games they would have a better WINNING PERCENTAGE than us (9-1 vs 8-1). In particular, if our game with VT has to be postponed we will not be able to make it up because they already are making up a game with UVA on Dec. 12. We better hope that the remaining 3 teams do not cancel on us.

In that scenario with Miami, I believe the first tiebreaker would be our head to head win against them. If we had not played them, then I believe winning percentage is the second tiebreaker.
I could be wrong too, but that's how I understood the deciding factors.

I in fact just read the tie breaker policy and thankfully I was wrong. The policy states "in the event there is an unequal total number of conference games played among teams tied in the loss column, head-to-head results will take precedence over win-percentage". So, even if one of our games is cancelled we won the head-to-head with miami. Thus we are in and they are not.
I propose that Clemson open up Death Valley an telecast the game on the big screen since no one can go to the game. Then when we destroy ND we can rush the field!

Alabama won a championship and didn't play in the SEC Championship game

If it's the best 4 teams, I would hope the same grace would be given to the Tigers.

Gotta think the playoff committee would take that under consideration. If a BIG 10 team could get in with less than a normal slate of games then why wouldn't Clemson.

I could have been an interesting tie-breaker, if ND played

Miami this year, lost to them and Clemson, ND & Miami all ended up 9-1 in conference, and each would be 1-1 against the other two! What would be the tie-breaker in that scenario?

They already started the tex am in the PO train

They can start 1 for clemson when the possibility of not getting in becomes more realistic.
If Clemson doesnt make it, oh well. If you lose, you lose.

If we win out and win in CLT, we're in the playoffs. Got to get healthy for sure. A healthy Clemson team beats ND. I feel pretty good about our chances.

Never underestimate the ability of a Roman Catholic to try to cheat the system. Google "papal dispensations" if you don't believe me.

The only game this could be a thing is VT. If Pitt or FSU couldn’t be played on the scheduled date it would be moved to 12/12 (VT is playing UVA that day already).

We win and we are in. We beat Miami who is the only other 1 loss team. If Miami were to beat ND we still beat them so we would be in. ND would be out. Head to head matchups.
