Whoops, Clemson only needs 1 W, not 2, to be Bowl eligible

It seemed that when Clem had to use the W over Wofford in '01 to get to the Humanitarian it would nix using the victory over Furman this yr as a W to get to a Bowl. Someone @ Clem finally discovered that the NCAA had granted a 1 time moritorium in '01, because of the WTC disaster that caused postponements & rescheduling, so the 1aa W over Wofford technically didn't use up their 1aa wild card & they can use the W over Furman this yr after all.
That means that with 1 victory over NCar, FSU or SCar, Clem can get to a Bowl this yr. If Clem does, that would mean T Bowden has gone to a Bowl in each of his 1st 5 seasons @ Clem, which would be a new ACC record!
And Clemson very well may fire him. U think Gailey has it tough?
Here's the story which tells the scenario better than I did:

Clemson needs 1 W for Bowling
