Absolutely clemson should be ahead of LSU. Losses still matter in this feel good world right. Or is it the media really make that determination in this feel good world? It should be a no-brainer to put us in ahead of LSU. We have more wins and less losses, and we beat one of the teams who beat LSU. It ain't rocket science. Go Tigers!!! Beat South Carolina!!!

Regardless of your conference, it is HARD to play 12 straight games and not lose one, and most of the time the team you lose to, it shouldn't have happen!!!!

In what stupid SEC dominated paid ranking does LSU who got whipped by Florida State and Tennessee rank ahead of Clemson...ESPN paid chumps must forget about everyone in the SEC when they lose of have a close game or look like crap on TV...the Tennessee Bloodhound was pecked to death by a half witted chicken! Most in the SEC are struggling and A&M can't put fans in the stadium who must have gone just to hear the band Play!

LSU should in no way be ahead of us, but they did not get whipped by FSU. FSU blocked an extra point to win the game. Still FSU won.

And why is a 2 loss Tennessee team that has lost 2 of their last 3 games and had 63 hung on them by a bunch of dirt peckers sitting in the top 10 at #9? They have been overrated all year and continue to be. How is it Clemson loses one game and drops from #4 to #10 yet a 2 loss Tennessee team is dropped to #9? Oh, silly me Tennessee is in the SEC! So should we be able to beat that powerhouse SEC team that beat them maybe we’ll move up to #4??? Think it’s called double standard

How the heck is LSU ahead with two losses when we have 1 and beat a team on the road they lost to at home? What the H?

If we win out, there are some pretty probably scenarios that get us in playoffs….Ohio State soundly beats Michigan, Dawgs beat LSU, So Cal loses to ND or whoever they play in PAC 12 championship game. But, we need to focus on what’s in front of us….look what happened to the Tarholes!

Actually not really a bad sign. LSU will lose to UGA. It is better for us if Michigan loses to OSU. Then we need USC or TCU to lose. Hoping ND can do us a solid as that would really make this clear cut.

Yeah they will. Also think scar should be ranked above Texas. Both have 4 losses but scar with better wins.

The problem is that we have to be close enough so that we jump Michigan when Ohio State beats them (or vice versa).

I believe the Pac12 champs will have 2 losses. Georgia will win the SEC over LSU. TCU will lose the Big-12 champ game. All Clemson has to do is beat Carolina no matter if they are wearing Garnet or Baby Blue colored football jerseys. Then Clemson is in like Flynn in the CFP!

UT got their tails stomped but they should be ahead of bama in my opinion and maybe even Lsu but behind us at this point. If you want to put them ahead of us fine but if we usuck we should jump them with no problem.

UT lost by 25 points to the Coots, and the AP Poll drops them to #9, We lose to ND by 21, and those same voters drop us to #12. Anybody that can read, can see that we are held to a higher standard than the teams in the SEC, and then will say that the SEC is the best FB conference in the country!!!

And how is it a 3 loss ND team beats a 3 win BC team and jumps up FIVE spots in the polls yet a 1 loss Clemson beats a 5 win Miami and moves up two?

Evidently we are good enough to elevate the BB heads but not ourselves when we win out after losing to them. Curious. Imagine if we had lost three games.

Your numbers speak a truth, but I watched both games and I thought we looked worse than Tenn.

With certain assumptions this could be the CFP final poll
1 UGA 2 Ohio St 3 TCU 4 Clemson 5 Mich 6 Alabama 7 Penn St 8 Notre Dame 9 USC 10 Tennessee 11 LSU 12 Utah/Washington
ND beats USC, USC beats Oregon, the rest win out 5-6 could easily reverse.
Here would be a 12 team playoff
1st Round Winner
1 UGA Bye 2 Ohio St Bye 8 Notre Dame 8 Notre Dame 9 USC
7 Penn St. 7 Penn St 10 Tennessee 3 TCU Bye 4 Clemson Bye 5 Michigan 5 Michigan 12 Washington
6 Alabama 6 Alabama 11 LSU
2nd Round
1 UGA 1 UGA 8 Notre Dame
2 Ohio St 2 Ohio St 7 Penn St
3 TCU 3 TCU 6 Alabama
4 Clemson 4 Clemson 5 Michigan
3rd Round
1 UGA 2 Ohio St
3 TCI 4 Clemson
Final
1 UGA 3 Clemson

I am not sure that Mich drops below us unless they lose fairly big to OSU. A nailbiter there keeps Michigan ahead of us.

The key loss that needs to happen is Southern Cal. Because if they end up a one loss team conference champion, it will mean they also beat Notre Dame who beat us. USC needs to have two losses.
The other scenario that gives us trouble is if LSU beats Georgia and TCU remains undefeated.
But the worst case scenario involves us not winning our last two games. Let’s just focus on that.

The thing about a 12 team playoff in this scenario is there would be 3 rematches. Would that be a good thing?

Agreed, these last two games look tougher to me than they did a few weeks ago.
