If Clemson had finished 3-9 the last four years


Oct 30, 2018, 7:27 PM

and are 8-0 this year where would we be ranked? No way we would be higher than 7th or 8th. That’s the fallacy of the committee saying they only look at this years results.

exactly that is the very reason

bama got in last year after not even playing in their conference title game

No, bama got in because they were clearly one of the best 4 teams in the country.

No Bama got in because of marketing & viewership.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Thats true

Not all losses are equal. Last year’s loss to Syracuse was early but we still won the Atlantic.
Late season upsets like Bama’s to Auburn, a game that decided the West division title, should have consequences. That to me should have been a de facto elimination game.
Sitting at home watching the SEC championship on TV was even a benefit for Bama considering the extra rest and preparation time for the semifinal against us.
I understand why others think otherwise, but discounting Bama’s loss last year was a shame.
Even the best teams should be held accountable.

Agreed. Who else do you put in last year? 2 loss ohio state who mind you probably has the same viewership if not more than Alabama?? Wisconsin that just lost more recently than Alabama who also had one of the weakest schedules in CFB?? Or 3 loss Auburn?? Alabama got in last year because it was clear they were better than the conference champions in 2 of the 3 conferences as they were 2 loss teams both of which had blowout losses.

A 1 loss Bama with a loss to Auburn got in over a 2 loss OSU with a bad loss to Iowa and a loss to Oklahoma and an undefeated UCF with no marquee wins up to that point.

They made the obvious right choice.

Other than UCF what undefeated team is not in the top 4?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Sad but true


Oct 30, 2018, 7:39 PM

Fortunately we benefit these years.
Day may come we don’t.
Need 8 teams. I’m ok with being left out if we are not able to make field of 8.

Re: Sad but true


Oct 30, 2018, 8:11 PM

Wrong. No team outside the top 4 is national championship material.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

i don't think that's true


Oct 30, 2018, 7:41 PM

Undefeated power 5 teams are rare and rise up the rankings inherently

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Despite what I said above


Oct 30, 2018, 7:50 PM

I agree undefeated would put us in. Though we may be behind ND in that scenario. Still, in top 4 for sure.

Re: If Clemson had finished 3-9 the last four years


Oct 30, 2018, 9:02 PM

We are in the top 4 because we are only 1 of 3 undefeated P5 teams. We would be in the top 4 regardless of what we had done the past 3 years. Strength of Record has been an excellent indicator of which teams get in the top 4, and we're #1 in strength of record.
