I know its very unlikely, but what would need to happen for Clemson to get back into the picture?

A lot of losses but weirder things have happened. LSU won a natty as a two loss team and without nearly as much SEC bias.

Find time machine. Step 2: Go back to August 30, 2014. Step 3: Beat UGAy. Step 4: Keep winning.
Sadly, I think we're going to be sitting this year out of the Final Four with 2 Ls.

This is my take on what would have to happen:
1) We win out
2) FSU loses 2 conferenced games, putting us in the ACCCG .... which we must win. This is highly unlikely, but not impossible. They have road games at Louisville & BC, and home games against UVa and an improving Miami team. Long shot for sure, but not out of the question.
3) All but 1 of the one-loss teams in the current Top 10 would have to lose a second game.
4) Still not sure the Committee would smile on us, but they would have to think long and hard about it.

Close - but not that difficult -

FSU looses 2 - we win out + ACC champ and we are right there. Riding a 10 game win streak with a top 3 defense - and DWatson (the Juan) back, breaking single game records - #7 with 1300 yards and 14 TD's - media darlings - having beat SC 63-17.
FSU looses to Louisville and VA - calling it. Winston cries on ESPN. Then rapes a frat pledge in a bizarre incident involving crabs.

And highly unlikely. But for a play or two in Tally and we would be right in the conversation now.

Playoffs are just a glorified version of the BCS National Championship

Same thing remains true in order to get in. A: Be undefeated or B: Be a one loss sec team...nothing will change about that

Lots and lots of chaos. Esp FSU losing a bunch
Oct 24, 2014, 7:07 PM

Then have Uga win out, while the SEC West each have at least two losses.
We would just have to luck out from the mix of a bunch of 11-2 teams.

An 11-2 Clemson Team will be ...
Oct 24, 2014, 8:55 PM

An 11-2 Clemson team will be hard to keep out of the playoffs. Such a record could be seen as 11-1-1 and would help in a decision between Clemson and some other team.
Obviously Florida State would need to find two losses for Clemson to achieve the 11-2 record. It's possible for the Seminoles to lose two ... as stated by others above.
