Strength of schedule:
Clemson is (6-0) with wins over Auburn, Troy, South Carolina State, Georgia Tech, Louisville, and Boston College. NC State is (4-1) with wins over William & Mary, ODU, Wake Forest, and Notre Dame. Their only defeat was a three point loss on the road at East Carolina.
Summary:
Clemson has faced a formidable schedule thus far and have won every game. The Tigers started the season slow but have really found their groove even knocking off a top 5 team in Louisville. NC State has played a cupcake schedule so far and that may have something to do with their impressive statistics they have compiled. Their only impressive win was against Notre Dame but I doubt they win that gave if not for the hurricane conditions. Clemson is the superior team and should win this game comfortably at home.
