According to Gameday on ESPN, the dispute centers on one Clemson player. Apparently this player was showing symptoms of COVID but repeatedly tested negative, so he was going to travel/play. A third party test on this Clemson player turned up positive. That’s where the dispute has arisen.

Although I think that this is probably FSU trying to get out of a loss, I think that this is a really interesting situation. On one hand you can ask is the independent test a false positive? On the other, covid tests attempt to detect the virus at a single point in time and the viral load might not have been high enough for detection during the initial tests.

When I first saw this I thought that Clemson’s testing efforts might be compromised after losing Lawrence, but that is probably my inner conspiracy theorist talking. Nevertheless, it is fun to speculate!
