Even with all the opt-outs, transfers, lack of credibility, and arguably integrity to the college football post-season the games must go on.

We ask the three biggest ACC basketball questions for this week. Does Clemson lose their first game this week? Clemson has been the ACC’s most consistent and I would say best team.
