Tigers . 8. team. 879. . 4-3, 3-2. Previous:

Head coach Dabo Swiney has said that there will not be any sweeping changes to the Clemson offense after their 27-17 loss to the Pitt Panthers last weekend. Quarterback DJ Uiagalelei was benched, and this was the sixth time Clemson did not break 20 points.

The offensive woes of the Tigers have been well documented. Clemson’s offensive line play has been foul, and some of that is due to injuries. All of this makes their game against Florida State interesting. Also, running back Kobe Pace is out for the Florida State game (COVID-19 protocols).

Wide receiver Joseph Ngata should return along with fellow receivers E.J. Williams and Frank Ladson, Jr.

team. 804. . 3-4, 2-2. Previous: . Seminoles . 7

Speaking of the Seminoles, head coach Mike Norvell has to like how his team has performed the last three games. Florida State put the boots to UMass (as they should) and looked very good against North Carolina after winning a close game against Syracuse.

Their trip to Death Valley East is crucial for the ‘Noles. A bowl game is not entirely out of the question with five games left. There are some hard feelings after last season’s cancellation as well.

Previous: . Cardinals . 6. team. 849. . 4-3, 2-2

The Cardinals have been yet another victim of the close game loss curse this season. Before their 28-14 win over Boston College, the Cardinals lost a 3-point game to Wake Forest and a one-point game to Virginia.

Quarterback Malik Cunningham has been one of the underrated players in the ACC this season, leading the Cardinals in passing and rushing yards. Louisville plays North Carolina State in Raleigh Saturday night.
