Clemson Tigers

  • Record: 9-1
  • Remaning schedule: at Wake Forest, vs. South Carolina

In order for Wisconsin to pass Clemson, the Tigers must fall in one of their final two regular season games against unranked opponents. While it was not expected the Badgers would jump over the Tigers this week, another loss to a lesser foe would surely drop Clemson more than just two spots.

If the Tigers win out, they would be in the ACC championship game against either Virginia Tech or North Carolina- good teams, but not the prestige of the top dogs on the other side of the conference. I like my chances of the Badgers being selected to the Playoffs over the Tigers if both teams have two losses at the end of the year.
