The ACC has put themselves in position to potentially spoil IU’s playoff bid with SMU (9-1; 7-1 ACC) ranked at No. 9 — the Mustangs have already clinched a spot in the ACC title game — and Clemson (9-2; 7-1 ACC) ranked at No. 12 and the first team left out of the field.

The Indiana Hoosiers hung on to a spot in the latest College Football Playoff bracket projection. Tuesday night, Indiana University fans found out that they'd get to stay in the playoff conversation. They landed in the No. 11 spot in the bracket.

Hoosier coach Curt Cignetti was asked if he thought the Hoosiers belonged in the CFP Top 12. The coach wasn’t having any part of the question. “Is that a serious question?” Cignetti said. “I’m not even going to answer that one. The answer’s so obvious.”
