Even if for some reason we pass them this week, they will pass us back after they get to play 2 top 15 teams to finish the season.
The only way I see us finishing in front of them in the final ranking is if they lose a game.

Makes no difference. Clemson will beat them either way.

You're probably exactly right about not mattering either way. It only matter if the CFPC has a clue and knowingly puts the 4 teams in the correct order. Otherwise, it would mean that CLEMSON would have to beat LSU and then OSU, the 2 strongest opponents, instead of the easier path for CLEMSON only requiring us to beat the #4 team and then the winner of the osu/lsu game. That path is easier for the #1 team. But again, the CFPC is probably too dumb to get anything right, so that makes the order meaningless.

It's impossible for us to pass them this week since we have a bye and they play Penn State. The real issue is whether they can pass LSU after beating PSU and Michigan.
If OSU loses this week, we won't be the only ones passing them. They could drop out of the top 4.

stats are correct, and they have played more ranked teams. Good news? No more bcs. We will settle this on the field. How terrible would it feel to know a few short years ago we could have gone undefeated after winning the whole thing and could be on the outside looking in. The cfp sure made this better. Now... who is up for some fried chicken??

1. There's no difference between being #2 and #2 except pride. 2. If you want to be the man, you have to beat the man.

"1. There's no difference between being #2 and #2 except pride." - I majored in Math, and I totally agree with your statement.

Bucknuts........Ha!!!! Maybe they can all get together and vote themselves a championship.
I was looking at programs that have 3 National Championships yesterday. Specifically, Clemson, FSU, UF, LSU. I was struck by the disparity in ranking laurels (stuff that writers vote on) vs actual accomplishments achieved on the field.
The Bucknuts can have their media vote championship (Hey Bucknuts, the media has been wrong every year, goose egg, nada, zip, O-fer, bubcus). Good luck with that.

At least the article explains how they can keep bringing up our win over the Tarholes as a bad thing and Georgia's loss to the Coots isn't. They just ignore the Dawgs loss.

It struck me as click bait...unless we are to believe 031O State really is worried we'd jump to #2 and they'd fall to #3.

at 1 until after we use experience and better coaching to show them where the woodshed is located.

...can take it easy leading up to playing Clemson in Glendale, Maybe, show up in Glendale a week early, take in some extra sightseeing, head up to Vegas for a road trip, RELAX, enjoy the vacation, etc.
I want them thinking that Clemson is overrated and not for real.
