Do not worry about going undefeated. This team could loose 3 and still get in.

4 losses for the 3rd year in a row. Count on it. Go steal Marcus Freeman from Norte Dame.
He is young, fiery and hungry. Dabo’s done

A lock? You must've missed the little woodshed incident in Tallahassee yesterday. Nole-holes beat Bama in solid fashion. FSU is back. Clemson is backing up.

That’s actually not true. Top 5 conferences get auto bids. Power 4 conferences just have a high probability of being 4 of the 5.

Absolutely 0% chance that a team in pre-season top 10 could go undefeated and miss the CFP.
To go further, there is a 0% chance that any team in the ACC go undefeated and miss the CFP.

"So far, the ACC has"
You have swallowed the "conference mantra".
It was created by ESPN.
I'll pay you $1000.00 if you can find one sports radio or talk show that doesn't spend 90% of their time spewing about "conferences".
Just one.
(Spoiler alert: there isn't any.)
It is ALL they talk about....period.
As the number of teams in the Playoffs increases( and the Regular season gets more and more watered down ) the 1st priority for any team is to get into the Playoff.
All these theories regarding the "changes" coming are just that. For me, the only undeniable fact is that $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ is going to decide everything.
I find it odd why I should concern myself with the football teams of Stanford, Virginia, etc., etc., etc.

Florida State would say you are wrong. But, Clemson is NOT FSU. ACC CONFERENCE CHAMPION IS IN. At least for the coming season. By 2029 or sooner, the only teams in the CFBCG will be teams from SEC/BIG.

I dont think going undefeated and not making the playoffs is a concern. However I can definitely see the league sucking being held against a 2 or 3 loss team that doesn't get the auto bid when it comes time to award the at large bids.

Watching Boise-S. Florida last night, something on the crawl left me scratching my head. The "Allstate Playoff Predictor" gives Clemson a 37% chance of making the playoffs. I waited for it to come around again to make sure I read it corectly.
How could a team currently ranked 4th, that has talent (as identified by various outlets) and a favorable schedule (by those same outlets) only be given a 37% chance of just making the playoffs when I have seen other predictions in the upper 60's and one at 80%? What kind of metrics are they using for that one?

Lets pretend for a moment that winning the league wasnt an automatic qualifier. How you going to start the season 4th, beat a top ten SEC team out of the gate, go on to win all the rest of your regular season games, including another one against a potentially ranked SEC foe, beat a ranked if not top 10 team for the ACC title, and STILL somehow fall out of the playoffs?

If we went undefeated, starting out at number 4, even if we lost conference championship we would still be in, lose to USUCK and LSU and lose the conference and we would be out.

FSU didn't make it because they lost their Heisman-finalist starting QB in the penultimate game of the season. The schedule was irrelevant.

Maybe if/when you ever do, then maybe you can come in here tooting your weak SEC horn.
If we win the conference we are in dork. FSU wasn’t under the same circumstances.
