Does Houston beating Pitt make Clemson a worse team?

Does Duke losing to Arizona St affect Clemson?
I'm trying to rap my head around this conference stuff.

I don't really see how it affects our Tigers.
I think all of this conference crap is stupid.
Play Your Schedule and the heck with everything else.

In my opinion, if the team plays competitively the loss neither hurts or helps Clemson. However, when a team gets curb stomped, like UNC, that hurts. Pitt certainly gagged a hair ball, but they were certainly competitive.

since Clemson would have to win all games with the exception

Of a loss to a sec front runner then for the acc it just is not that important. The acc use to be that way in basketball and we were never part of the higher eschelon to enjoy. Next year if we beat Fl St and GT plus all other teams we should be in top 4 and that is a better chance than past years where if there were 3 undefeated teams or even a 1 defeated sec then someone else besides Clemson would be there. Always was that way - no one saw us coming in 81 and lots of talk about us not belonging even on the day we won
Finally just enjoy it however you like since the enjoyment for Clemson fans should be about Clemson and regardless of who you pull for makes no difference in the score ??

We dont get credit for winning the ACC if the ACC is seen as a cakewalk

Not at all! This conference stuff is ridiculous now. It wasn't always like this! Just like Arkansas beating Texas does nothing for USUCK even though they'll say it does, just like they will with Tenn and UGA and Florida if they beat the mighty ECU pirates! The SEC is now bragging by winning the Birmingham bowl. Jesse Palmer yesterday mentioned how those lowly SEC east teams have won so it shows how top to bottom the sec can compete. Come on man! grasping at straws!! Showing signs of getting desperate!

Then lets all go around touting the hokies and wolfpack's bowl wins. BC misses an extra point so I guess the ACC is soft.

To us on TigerNet no to everyone else yes, because why else was a undefeated FlSt team ranked lower than 2 teams with 1 loss.

That Houston comeback was awesome. This "Conference Shaming"

that ESPN pushes every chance they get is just another thing ruining the sport. After Clemson pounded Oklahoma, we should all be able to sit back and just enjoy the other bowl games. Heck, I was rooting for Pitt (tons of family ties to the school), but 29 points in the fourth quarter!?! And to score a touchdown and GO FOR TWO!?! What a bold decision! It was awesome to watch. I hate it for Pitt but that's what you get when you let up on a team that came to play.
