Considering we won’t know who they’ll be playing if they do win the Atlantic, this is tougher than it looks, but I’m going to say YES, because I believe the Tigers are the most talented team in the ACC and the forces of nature  (not to mention the horrid offense) that coalesced to deprive the Tigers of their rightful crown will not be the same this season.

You may have to check back in if injuries approach last years record breaking pace and better yet don’t check in because I may be on a ledge somewhere pondering life’s unfairness.

If the Tigers get to Charlotte, they will not be denied, be it by Pittsburgh, Miami, Mack or whatever godforsaken team wins it from the Coastal.

I’ve heard a rumor that ESPN will refuse to televise the game unless Clemson is in it. That was supposed to be a joke, but could be scarily close to true.

Imagine the scintillating Wake – Pitt matchup that awaits the network should the Tigers falter. Yikes.
