The Georgia Tech football team had a week off but there was still a lot learned around the ACC.

1. Clemson is once again a National Championship contender

One of the biggest questions entering the season in the ACC was if Clemson was once again going to be a national championship contender. It was a known that the Tigers were going to have one of the best defenses in the country but there were plenty of questions surrounding their offense entering the season.

Three games into the season and it appears that the offense at Clemson will be just fine with Kelly Bryant as the starting quarterback. In week two, they faced a tough Auburn team and while the offense struggled, it did enough to pull out a 14-6 victory. This week, Clemson took on Louisville and defending Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson. To put it nicely, it was a no contest as the Tigers won easily 47-21.

It’s not crazy to think that the Tigers could run the table, the only teams that on their schedule right now that could handle them offensively are Virginia Tech and Florida State.
