More notes (via Clemson)

*Clemson has a 14-2 record in the ACC this year, tied for the most conference wins in a season in school history with the 2022-23 team that finished 14-6 in the ACC. It is a significant accomplishment, but it is even more noteworthy when you take into account the winning percentage. Over the years there has been a drastic variation in the number of conference games the Tigers have played from year to year. But, a look to the conference winning percentage bests in Clemson history reveals this Clemson team is ahead of the record pace in that category as well. A win over Notre Dame on Wednesday will clinch at least a tie for the best conference winning percentage in school history and clinch at least the best since the 1934-35 team went 3-1 for a .750 percentage in the Southern Conference. A win over Notre Dame would make Clemson 15-2 in the league with three games left, meaning the worst they could finish is 15-5, which is a .750 percentage.

*Clemson won its 12th ACC game this year by 10 points or more against SMU (79-69) on Feb. 22. That extended a new school record for ACC wins in a season by double-digits (2022-23, 9). 12 of the 14 have been by 10 or more points, while three (North Carolina and Florida State (2x)) have been by 20 points.
