Clemson (8-0)

Last Ranking: No. 3

Last Week- Survived against Florida State 37-34

Clemson made the plays down the stretch to beat Florida State behind some questionable calls by the referees.

They called a long run by Dalvin Cook back on a phantom block or whatever it was they called, and they ejected FSU’s Trey Marshall on a bogus targeting call.

Clemson rightfully attacked the spot where Marshall was supposed to be and scored 17 points in the fourth quarter.

They play Syracuse at home Saturday.
