Statement from the ACC:
quote:

GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) - The Atlantic Coast Conference announced today that the Clemson at Florida State football game will be postponed. The game was originally scheduled to be played today, Saturday, Nov. 21 at noon.

The postponement follows this morning’s game conference call at which time both teams’ medical personnel were unable to mutually agree on moving forward with the game. Both teams continue to adhere to the minimum outlined protocols within the ACC Medical Advisory Group report, which is available on theACC.com

theacc.com

ETA: 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.

I'm gonna laugh if Lawrence wins the Heisman playing only 8 games or some shite. And the media will let it happen too.

Can Miami finish with a better record than Clemson now? If so, who goes to the ACCCG?

The ACC can just fast forward to the ND Clemson rematch because nothing else matters anyway

That's crazy. Will they reimburse them for the travel?

FSU ate-up with that ghey and didn't wanna get another arse-whopping. Absolutely absurd to cancel this 3.5 hours before the kickoff when the whole damn team is already in Tallahassee. I hope Clemson sends them a big check for the travel.

There is an absolute nightmare scenario where Clemson and Miami both have one loss but if Clemson plays less games then Miami gets the nod for a higher winning percentage. The ACC allowed additional weeks for reschedules so right now Clemson will play FSU the last week of the season (which also sucks as it was gonna basically be a bye before ND), but if anything else happens and we end with less games then Miami would go.

Not expanding the playoffs for this weird season was dumb.

I agree. Both teams should be following the same ACC protocols, and if both followed them (ACC statement says both have adhered to the minimum ACC protocols), why are they unable to agree on playing the game?

I wonder if both finish with 1 loss, would the ACC give Clemson the nod due to beating them earlier this season? This is crazy
