Clemson is the top team in the Atlantic Coast Conference and in the mix for the College Football Playoff.

Tyler Shough threw his second touchdown pass to Nate Kurisky, a 6-yarder midway into the final quarter, and Louisville overcame a 20-point deficit to beat Boston College.
Coming off a high-scoring loss to No. 6 Miami last week, the Cardinals sliced the score to 27-24 on Isaac Brown’s second TD run, an 18-yarder with just under 11 minutes left in the game.
After stopping BC on a three-and-out, the Cardinals went 63 yards in four plays for the go-ahead score when Kurisky was wide open in the right flat and trotted in for the TD.
Shough completed 28 of 38 passes for 333 yards with a 4-yard TD toss to Kurisky that made it 27-17 in the third quarter. But he was picked off twice, the second coming near midfield with just under four minutes to play.
The Cardinals had lost three games by one possession.
BC got the ball back with 1:25 to play at its 35 and moved to Louisville’s 42 before Thomas Castellanos’ Hail Mary pass went out of the back of the end zone to end the game.
Castellanos threw three touchdown passes - two coming on fourth-down plays in the first half - and the Eagles turned two early turnovers into scores to build a 20-0 lead.
Playing for the first time since he fumbled twice in a blowout loss at Virginia Tech, Castellanos was 13 of 28 for 164 yards.

Nearly all the success enjoyed by the Louisville football program has taken place in the last two decades. Since 1998, the Cardinals have appeared in 16 of the program’s 21 bowl games, and they’ve had just two losing seasons in that span. The Cards have also been a member of four conferences in that stretch but appear to have found a home in the ACC.
The Cardinals made their first bowl game a success by beating Drake in the Sun Bowl following the 1957 season. It would be 13 more seasons before the Cards returned to a bowl and 33 more before they notched another win. The Cards had their first 10-win season and won the Fiesta Bowl in 1999.
Coach John L. Smith started to turn the program into a national powerhouse in the late 1990s and strung together five consecutive winning seasons and bowl games, leaving the club in good shape for Bobby Petrino’s first stint. The Cards won 41 games in four years and earned their highest ranking ever in the AP poll, topping out at No. 3. Following a program record 12 wins and an Orange Bowl victory in 2006, Petrino left for the NFL. Petrino returned in 2014, and the Cards won at least eight games in each of his four seasons. Lamar Jackson won a Heisman Trophy under Petrino in 2016.
After a 2018 collapse, Petrino was fired, and Scott Satterfield could never quite break out. After Satterfield fled to Cincinnati one step ahead of the posse, Louisville found the perfect fit in native son Jeff Brohm.
