DW4 beasting will trump ESPN being down on the ACC

Lots of people think we won't get the benefit of the doubt in the playoff if we have a 13-1 team and win the ACC. Watson is our secret weapon though. If he stays healthy all year, beasts, and is a top 2 or 3 Heisman candidate, we won't get left out. The playoff is still all about money. Regardless conference perception, the money is still in showcasing the best players. Winston did not have a great year last year and really wasn't a player in the Heisman race. I think that and FSU's consistent shaky play even in wins is why the committee wasn't as high on them. Preseason perception will be irrelevant if the marquee guy delivers the goods IMO.

We need to make sure we do not lose a game. I do not think Ohio State will lose any games. I do not think TCU will lose any games. Oregon? You know the playoff will take a 1 loss SEC team over a 1 loss ACC team every time. The SEC may have a West or East Champion that is undefeated and the other 1 loss.
If we want to be in the playoffs, we better win out.

I don't think there's a SEC team that will go undefeated. Frankly, there's a solid chance there won't be a one-loss SEC champion. The PAC-12 won't have an undefeated champion and, again, there's a good chance it won't be a one-loss team, either.
