This is the best possible scenario in my opinion. We'll play two teams in the top 4 if things go right and have have every opportunity to knock them out of the CFP while making our case. Arguing about the rankings at this juncture is pointless but I suppose it's good blog fodder leading up to next weekend.
I'd be more upset if we ran the table, were left out, and never had a chance to play against top competition. However, ND, and very likely Clemson won't be able to run from us this season and that's before our bowl game.
We can show and prove starting Saturday night with everyone watching.
