For those saying ACCCG being cancelled would help Clemson

Or that it isn't fair that Clemson has to risk its spot in the CFP by playing. I say there's no benefit in not bringing home another ACC Championship, or especially allowing it to be awarded to ND. I'm in the minority in that I have no problem with ND being part of the conference this season. However, I still don't want them having the bragging rights of just showing up for one season and walking off with the conference title.

Also, if we're truly a NC contender this season then it shouldn't matter that we're "risking" our spot in this game. If we're a NC team then we show up next weekend and leave with our 6th straight ACC title. If we show up next week and lose then we weren't going to do well in the CFP to begin with. No way are Dabo and our boys sitting around thinking of how unfair it is that they have to put their #3 ranking at risk by playing this game.

I'll further add that playing a game like this will only benefit us in the long run. Let's say that Ohio State does end up getting in and playing us. As a coach, would you rather have the team that's been battle tested by playing a total of 11 games including 3 games against top 10 teams, or would you rather be the coach of a team that's played 5 o 6 games with your toughest game being against a "top 10" Indiana team? Yeah, you can make an argument over injury risk, but injuries can just as easily happen in a single game. I'll take the team that's been able to improve over the course of a longer season with experience in tough games during the year.
