And now there are only 12 with Clemson losing @Syracuse.

 This article never even mentioned THAT possibility. LOL

3. Clemson Tigers (6-0)

Toughest game remaining: at NC State Wolfpack (Nov. 4)

Why they could win them all: Because Florida State Seminoles is down this year and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets game is at home. The program depth on display this year at Clemson is not just a compliment to talent acquisition but also talent development. Blue-chip prospects like Christian Wilkins , Dexter Lawrence and Travis Etienne play right away, but the team is anchored by veterans like Dorian O’Daniel , who spent a couple years in the program and have emerged as stars later in the career. That balance of raw talent and leadership is something every coach strives to achieve because it keeps Clemson in check during the grueling path to a title. 

Why they could lose: The path to a 28-2 record across 2015 and 2016 included a lot of close, nail-biting wins and a shootout loss to Pittsburgh Panthers at home. Clemson is the closest thing we have to seeing a team “clutch gene” in college football, but if outcomes start flipping in these close games, there’s a loss hiding later in the schedule. NC State had a 33-yard field goal attempt to beat Clemson last year and missed it before losing in overtime, and it’s gotten even better since that 2016 meeting. Florida State and Georgia Tech are tough outs, but beating the Wolfpack might be the last big hurdle for the Tigers going 12-0. 

Syracuse lost to Middle Tennessee State, then beats Clemson a couple of games later. How does this happen? They looked mediocre most of last year too before beating a ranked Virginia Tech. They also lost to Clemson 54-0 in 2016. Quite the erratic team.

Lose your starting quarterback during a game and things like this can happen. 

If QF goes down...never mind - I’m not going there. I just can’t.
