CLEMSON — Today is a weird day for the ACC and Clemson.
Why?
Well, the conference’s champion is representing the league in the Sun Bowl, while another team is representing the ACC in the College Football Playoff. What is so weird about those things.
Neither of those teams are named Clemson.
Duke—the ACC Champions—played Arizona State in the Sun Bowl, while Miami is playing Ohio State in the quarterfinals of the College Football Playoff in the Cotton Bowl Classic.
This was Clemson’s domain. For more than a decade, the Tigers owned the ACC and were a mainstay in the CFP.
