Trevor Lawrence has been ruled out when Clemson travels to South Bend to face the Irish. Despite that, Clemson as opened as a 3 point favorite against the Irish. Are the books begging for action on Notre Dame? A clemson loss would leave Alabama in the drivers seat for the NC chase. They would become the #1 team in the nation and play the first playoff game in the Sugar Bowl. If Clemson wins the rematch against the Irish in the ACC CC game, they probably would get to play Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.
