Two years Clemson barely beat State in OT, and should have lost if it wasn't for a clown kicker. They also lost to Pitt at home. Should they have kissed their playoff hopes goodbye then, when they beat Bama for the Natty?
The ACC is hot garbage outside of Clemson for two years running. Clemson's just lucky tOSU got bombed by Oklahoma last year and they played Auburn at home before Jarrett Stidham knew his ass from a hole in the ground because he was playing in just his second game and Kerryon Johnson was injured.
And NC State having a clown kicker is just part and parcel of why the ACC sucks.
