Do you think any of the teams I put above Clemson in the poll could only score 3 points against GT in a 2nd half? Our defense is great, but offense got beat in 2nd half.

We only scored 3 points against GT in the 2nd half last season as well.

That may be true, but with Notre Dame in the mix, 2 conference champions will be left out. We need impressive wins to convince the committee

If ND were to get in over us, I can promise you beating GT by 14 instead of 20, 30, or 40 would have zero to do with it.

slowed down in the second half.
I'm betting the voters on the playoff committee will have watched the game before they vote.
I'm also betting that the panel will be cognizant of the quality of the opposition we've faced this season compared to the teams you list above us.
We'll be no lower than #5 ...

Yes I would like to keep the throttle down but heavy rain was factor. Love the W and D was dominant, happy to see them come back and show how great they can be.

Penn St beat an average Michigan team. They have 1 win over a "ranked team." Smoke and mirrors.

Do people really think the playoff voters are sitting around thinking, "you know, I was going to put Clemson #4, but I really thought their win over GT should have been 31-10 instead of 24-10 so I'm now thinking they are more like #6."?
Anyone watching the game tonight knew it was never in doubt for a single second in the 2nd half. That's the sort of thing the playoff committee is looking for. They aren't looking to see if you score a garbage touchdown to go up 31-3 late, or care that you gave up a garbage touchdown late to make the game 24-10 instead. Anyone paying attention to how they figure in ratings or the things they say are important in the past would know this.

If we are 5th, it won't be because we only scored 24 tonight
Oct 28, 2017, 11:58 PM

We were in control all night long and that's all that matters to the committee. It depends on whether they put more weight on our strength of schedule and credit Penn St for having a "good" loss! Although, how do you consider giving up an 18 point lead in the 4th quarter, a good loss??

Honestly outside of special teams OSU was clearly the better team.

I can honestly see ND being in the top 4 due to some impressive wins, and their only loss being in a tight one to a Georgia team that will likely be #2. I honestly feel you could rank Clemson, Wisconsin, ND, Ohio State, and Penn State in pretty much any order and not really be wrong with any of them.

Clemson has 6 wins against teams with winning records and has played three top 15 matchups with two of those teams reaming in the top 20 (Auburn and VT). No other team can boast this but we do have the loss... so we will be 3 or 4.
Ohio State has a loss (bad loss at home) and only 2 wins over ranked teams (Army and Penn St.) 31-0 ring a bell!
ND has 4 wins over winning teams (USC and NCSU are ranked)
BAMA 2 wins over winning teams (one over a ranked opponent at the time FSU... hilarious now)
UGA has 4 wins over teams with a winning record (with wins on the road at ND and vs Miss State)
The eye test places it between Bama and UGA as 1 and 2 and then it will be Clemson and ND.
Wisconsin has 2 wins over winning record teams and has 0 wins over top 25 teams (at the time or now)
Miami has 2 wins over winning rerecord teams at this time (one being Toledo) and not wins over top 25 teams (at this time or now)
next...

Dabo does that... but we all must remember why we have good defenses year in and year out under Venables... they play guys even when things are tight or not quite out of hand. They develop and build depth. The O rhythm tonight just got out of sync in the second half and that has been an issue - play calling, penalties, miscues, weather etc. It has been an issue this year in the second half of games but this offensive coaching staff has displayed they can get it done when it matters (OK, ND, OK, OSU, BAMA etc) so we can't complain too much. Special teams cost us the championship in 2016.

A 4 point half would have put us over the top.
Sarcasm.
I don't believe you understand how it all works. The committee couldn't care less about how many points we scored after halftime.
We basically toyed with GT. We could have scored 100 and completely anhiliated them. But we didn't need to. Not for the committee and certainly not the fans. The committee can see plain as day how good we are.
Even if we ain't where you want us to be when the rankings come out, we control our destiny.
