OK, here’s where things get a little dicey.  I’m no math major, but 74.7% is darn near three-quarters, as in three out of four.  That seems high to me with the questions Clemson has and I think I’ve read/heard/been preached to that the North Carolina State Wolfpack is returning 115 starters from last years team that beat Clemson.

OK.  The game is in Clemson, the Tigers have the better defense, more talent and the theoretical revenge factor.

But that’s just one game, there’s still trips to Wake, where imagined nightmares are supposedly going to haunt the Tigers forever and a trip to Tallahassee where real nightmares have haunted the Tigers in the past, but not so much lately as it’s been like reading a book by the third quarter.

Tough call, but I’m going with YES. Three out of four years the Tigers would win the Atlantic.  I’m just hoping 2022 isn’t that “fourth year”.
