North Carolina continues to climb in the rankings, but the question is whether the Tar Heels are moving up fast enough to make the College Football Playoff. A lot of big games are yet to be played -- not the least of which is the ACC championship -- so nothing is etched in stone.
Clemson Tigers
Record: 11-0 (8-0 ACC)
Rank: 1
Next big obstacle: With all due respect to the in-state rivalry, South Carolina is fresh off a loss to The Citadel, so Clemson doesn’t need to be too worried.
