I love a good conspiracy.
u25aa Did Lee Harvey Oswald act alone?
u25aa Was the moon landing real?
u25aa Does Clemson get “all the calls” because the ACC needs a team in the College Football Payoff?
I can’t speak to the first two but there are some financial circumstances to the last one that many college football fans don’t quite understand.
The cut for the “Power 5” conference teams is not contingent on participation. The ACC will get about $57 million from the CFP this year if it has a team selected for the four-team playoff or not.
