in being a conference that gets 2 teams into the playoffs?

If Clemson beats ND in the ACC Championship in a close game, that is what should happen. Bama clearly is #1. ND clearly is #2 right now, having beaten Clemson. And ND's win over UNC only highlights why ND is legit at that high a ranking, even though Clemson was down 4 players at their first meeting. The ND D stuffed Etienne in a way that I would not have guessed possible. That was no fluke, as ND stuffed Javonte the same way.

If your D can totally stuff great RBs, it can disrupt the entire offense and control much of the game. The ND D on paper will not strike many as being that good, but it is. Put that with the ND OL, and both with a QB who simply wins - over a whole career - and you have the potential to beat anybody.

They could. But to be honest, there are a lot of teams in this country that could possibly get a second bid out of the ACC. Outside of Clemson, and part timer ND, the conference is about as mediocre as usual. And some of the teams are absolutely horrendous.
