There is NO Clemson Missing Playoffs as 13-0 ACC Champ
Oct 7, 2018, 12:11 AM

Period. A 12-1 Clemson has VERY high risk. Right now the PAC 12 and Big 12 would miss before Clemson and the Big 10 champ and Clemson are dead even. Sorry ESPN SEC only gets 1 team this year if Clemson, ND and OSU stay undefeated.
My prediction:
1) Bama 2) Clemson 3) ND 4) OSU

Why not? They didn’t win their conference and they just lost a game. Of course they’ll get left out if ND is undefeated.

their quarterfinal game and lost. Just like a 12-0 Clemson that lost to Miami in the championship game would get left out because they'd effectively lost their quarterfinal game.

Simple... I believe the other teams had 2 losses
Oct 7, 2018, 12:45 PM

And one of the losses for each was bad in eyes of committee. If I recall correctly, Big 10 Champ Penn St. lost to Mich and Pitt and Big 10 champ OSU lost to OK and Iowa.
If each Champ had only 1 loss, they both would have likely made the playoffs. Too bad for Clemson OSU lost to Iowa!
I don't disagree with your assertion that a 1 loss UGA would likely be better than an undefeated ND, but I don't think the committee would leave out any undefeated P5 team in lieu of a non-conf champ.
Could be interesting decision this year, but still a lot of football left to play. There will be a few surprises on the field that will help clear it all up come December.

Absolutely agree. the sec runner-up, bamer, only got in last year because Wisconsin dropped the ball. If the dowgs win out and lose to bamer, they are not getting in. I'll be surprised in nd and o-31-o both go undefeated. wv-who will lose at least one.

If ND wins out they are in imo. Now if Us, Bama/UGA, OSU, and WVU win out that would be a tough one for the committee but I doubt that happens.

Agree most likely but them having a championship game now would help. I doubt we could get left out because the past 3 years and we would have beaten a good A&M team and NCST. We need Cuse, Usuck, and Miami to keep winning tho I think if we win out we are in no matter what. Can't believe Cuse lost to Pitt lol

Why in the heck do you say that? Who has UGA beat?? What makes you say UGA is better than ND at this point in the season?

I will give you the head to head with Vandy but Mich, VT, and Stanford are better Ws than what UGA has. If LSU, UF, Auburn, and Kentucky keep winning and only lose to UGA than you may have a case.

Champions from the best 4 conferences should get in. Period.

I’m getting tired of “getting the best four teams in”.
We don’t put a W to a team that should have won a game, do we?
So, team like Penn State that won Big Ten two years ago should have got into the playoffs instead of Ohio State, no matter how much better Ohio State passed the eye tests.

No chance considering only one or two teams go undefeated every year. If Clemson does, there won't be enough other undefeateds to knock us out.

championship game today unless they are in the big12 or ND and get a bye. If all three remained undefeated after winning another game in a conference championship, then all three would be in the playoffs even if an SEC team had only one loss.

OSU may get beat by Michigan this year, who has better D, and improving O.

Silly to even discuss it. No matter how much the ESECPN loudmouths want to run down the ACC, the fact is the SEC is Bamer and Georgia, and then a couple of teams that are decent but not elite like TA&M, KY and LSU, and then the rest are also garbage. Remember in Georgia's best scenario they will be playing Bamer, how do you think that will end up? OSU still has to play Michigan and likely Wisconsin in the Champ game. If Clemson wins through, having won a fourth straight championship, having been to three straight playoffs and won the Natty once, if Clemson is not in the playoffs the NCAA needs to burned down.
