Which is why I think they could lose to LSU and they are in. The only other likely preseason ranked opponent is S. Carolina who would barely be ranked. SMU will take a step back and is likely in 30s as is UNC and Louisville.
11-1 ACC team is 99% in, even if they drop the ccg. SMU showed us that and Clemson has a much higher brand quality to prop them up. I will say that they at least have more of the possibly decent ACC teams on the schedule.
