ND will clinch spot in ACC title game with win over Cuse this weekend.
Clemson doesn't appear to be re-scheduling their postponed game against FSU for next weekend.
So Clemson will have an off week, ND will have to play... while plenty of other teams in the conference are looking for games to finish up their regular season.
Wake was supposed to play Miami this weekend, and that appears to be off. Cancel ND/wake and Let them push Wake/Miami out a week.
There is no point to having a meaningless game under these circumstances. Let ND and Clemson both have a week off before the ACC championship game.

That gives them their best chance of getting two teams in the playoffs which is good for their brand. Gives them two weeks to hype up ND vs Clemson 2.
Having ND slip up against Wake wouldn’t be a good scenario for them.
