Back in the summer, the matchup between Clemson and Florida State was expected to have ACC Championship implications.
Now, it’s basically an afterthought as the Seminoles have not bounced back from last season’s struggles, and the Tigers, after entering the season ranked No. 4 in the AP Poll, are in the midst of what looks to be the worst season of the Dabo Swinney era.
Clemson has not beaten a Power-4 team at home in more than a full calendar year and Florida State has just one win over an ACC opponent in the past 400 days.
