I am so thankful we can win and be in. That is incredible. But if we did lose to UNC...here is a sure scenario in my opinion that would still place us in the top 4.
What if... We lose, Bama loses, Stanford loses? Big 10 winner in. Oklahoma in. Who gets last two spots?
In the conversation should be: UNC, OSU, Clemson and likely Bama and UF (with another good loss
Clemson's SOS is better than both UNC and OSU. Clemson would be 2-1 vs. Playoff top 10. OSU is 1-1 vs. Playoff top 15. UNC would be 1-0 vs. Playoff top 10. 11-2 Bama would be 1-2 vs. Playoff top 25 11-2 UF would be 2-2 vs. Playoff top 25 Looks like UNC and Clemson would get spots 3 & 4 right?
UNC gets in because they are a conference champion. Clemson should get the edge over OSU because of resume, but I don't want to put ourselves in that situation.
