Clemson and Louisville answered their two biggest questions and now they get to face each other.
Even with its quarterback problems, Florida State will still have a say, and the Coastal Division is the Coastal Division, but the winner between the Tigers and Cardinals this week will be the ACC’s best shot at sending a team to the College Football Playoff for a fourth straight year.
The biggest question in the preseason for Clemson was, after years of being identified by its offense, could the Tigers win with defense?
After Auburn ran for 38 yards (on 42 carries) and threw for 79 (on 24 passes), in a 14-6 Clemson win, the answer is a resounding yes.
