⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors Clemson at 65%, but money distribution shows sharper play on Florida State amid reverse line movement, creating divergence; however, mathematical models and simulation align more with public backing due to Clemson’s defensive edge and home crowd impact.
