I wouldn't put us past 5, but I think 4 is optimistic.
2 is just insane.
Louisville should be ahead of us.
We will then pass louisville if we win out.

Here are some important metrics the CFP committee considers and where we rank:
Strength of record: Clemson #2, Louisville #5
SOS: Clemson 23, Louisville 59
Game Control: Clemson #3, Louisville #10
People who say this do not understand the committee after two full years of them ranking teams. You're stuck in the poll-era. Join us in the modern era, please.

I agree
they will penalize Michigan because their QB is hurt too.

There's no way we stay at 2. On a neutral field with 2 weeks to.prepare OSU and Bama would beat our tails. Sorry, but I've been a tiger my entire life. I'm 42 yrs. old and I have to be realistic. Turnover prone teams do not win national championships. Our coach for as great as he's been has a fatal flaw. He's inability to call his team bad when it's bad. Yes, I know look where he has taken us, but to win it all he has got to get the attention of his superstar QB. I don't believe Dabo has it in him. That's how I feel. But it's one man's opinion. Flame away!!

lifelong Tiger? I find at least one of those statements has a "flaw". Guess you have to be my age to develop the tendency to be "unrealistic" and feel that this is one of the best teams we have had in my 68 years.

No sir. With all do respect you sometimes have to call it like it is. We cannot run the football, we turn the ball over too much, and our linebackers continuously get burnt in coverage. So as I've noticed with a lot of fans they can never be critical. It helps them sleep at night. Anything is possible. I hang on every play of every game. I wasn't even upset Saturday when we lost. It's a miracle it hadn't happened already. Last year's team was better. Stats are misleading .

Last years team was more dominant, but this years team is capable of winning it all. To say we are bad is just stupid.
Regarding Dabo I can't understand the mentality that having a positive attitude is a "flaw"....

I believe I said when your team is bad say it. The everything is great crap is getting old. Talk to some folks that work around this team on campus and you will know. The elitist attitude is over the top. Dabo has built this team out of good character kids. But, the best character sometimes needs to be humbled. Thats all I'm saying. This team has continued to not play with a sense of urgency. I just think this team is gonna require a good old ##$ chewing to get them going. So we will see. And say what you will but Tiger for life I am but orange colored glasses .... I don't own any!

We are elite....
Dabo has us playing the best football in Clemson history.
They've earned the right to hold their head high and I like a coach that stays positive. Negativity is a cancer.....

I too am critical of the bad plays and what I consider to be bad calls and have white knuckles in close games, But I do get upset with every loss. But you have to look at overall results and 9-1 is far better than most records in Clemson history - so we ain't bad - just not where you and I wanted to be after Saturday's game.

Praise in public criticize in private. More people should be like him.
Dumping on our players would not lower our turnovers - maybe the opposite.

Bama
Michigan or Ohio state
Clemson
Louisville
We're very lucky michigan and Washington lost this past weekend or we wouldn't even be considered in the top 4. I think what the committee will see in this Clemson is that we are very talented but have a ball security issue. If it wasn't for all the turnovers, we would of won every game by at least 10 points or more
