In case you're faced with someone who says


Dec 3, 2019, 5:50 PM

Clemson was never going to be left out, here are some references:

Overlooked by committee (and why we shouldn't be):

I feel like some media members feel like they're being attacked by saying Clemson wasn't good. I don't know about that, but I do think there was speculation that they may not be good enough.

It does seems like the media now wants to say "No one said Clemson won't be in if they win out, if you've been paying attention the last few weeks". But the issue is we not only have to win out, we have to look great doing it every time. And I get our competition isn't what some other playoff contenders are, but I don't think other teams would be guaranteed to have 30+ point wins, or give up the fewest points per game this season so far

We are rated 4th in Strength of Record. How we performed based on strength of opponent. UGA is 3rd which I think can be argued. We are also 3rd in game control so I dont see how as a 13-0 Conf Champ could possibly be left out. We do need to beat UVA though.
That is the whole driver of the disrespect card being played. Based on the explainations by the CFP chairman the criteria changed team to team and they flopped around worse than any other year.

Agreed, we can't lose

Just wish we didn't have to beat the spread on every team or look 'not up to task'
