Is it time for the ACC to be concerned about its playoff future? Jeff Long said the vote between Clemson and Alabama at the top of the rankings was particularly close, while North Carolina couldn’t move beyond No. 10. If the Tar Heels pull the upset in the ACC championship game, it’s fair to start wondering if the ACC -- a league with three top-10 teams -- will be left out of the playoff altogether.
Record: 12-0 (8-0 ACC)
Rank: 1
Next big obstacle: Beat North Carolina, and the Tigers are in the playoff.
