Clemson is incredibly overrated.
Yes! Take away Clemson rushing attack, and their just like mighty ND. The only difference is Clemson has a STRONGER defense. hUh.
Their starting front 4 is awesome but they lack depth. They don't have backups like Trent, Garvin and Moten. Their LBs are really good, especially O'Daniel and Lamar but the secondary is suspect specifically at safety.
We matchup nicely against them but their defense is 100 times better than ND.
I have a dream that my four little (unacknowledged) children will one day live in a nation where their college football teams will not be judged by the biases of some dopes in a conference room in Dallas but by the content of the number in their loss column.......non Power 5 teams excluded.

The committee won't penalize you for playing tough OOC opponents and losing.
Auburn's loss to Clemson and Ohio State's loss against Oklahoma are basically being pardoned.
In the committee's eyes there's three undefeated teams: Bama, Miami, Wisky
1 loss teams: UGA, Auburn, Clemson, Ohio State, Oklahoma
I reallllly hope we get matched up with wisky in the playoffs
1. Bama
2. Oklahoma
3. Miami
4. Clemson
5. Wisconsin
6. Auburn
7. Georgia
8. Notre Dame
9. USC
10. Ohio State
11. Penn State
12. TCU
13. Oklahoma State
14. UCF
15. Washington
The more I think about it, I think I’m coming around to Vilma’s side: Miami’s opponent last Saturday probably should never have been ranked #3 and UGA probably shouldn’t have been #1 (though they deserved to be top 4 with an undefeated record, had they played Auburn’s schedule I don’t think they would’ve been).
If someone made the argument that the SEC East, at least this year, was marginally better -if better at all- than the B1G West, I wouldn’t put up much of a fight. UGA won their first game and beat an inconsistent MSSt along with the worst coached teams in college football, the SEC East. Is it time to argue that they’re not who we thought they were? Especially, when you consider the drubbing Miami just gave their “signature” win.
Iowa not only stomped the Buckeyes, they also beat the Hawkeyes -who saw their way to victories over OK and TCU. Is it time to call OK’s loss exactly what it is? A loss. And, WI beat Iowa. Bad.

**Consistency keeps UGA ahead of Auburn if I’m just counting wins and losses, but at this point of the season there is no way a “#1 ” team should be beaten that badly even if it’s on the road. Fromm ain’t who some thought he was.
I agree that it would be hypocritical to discount, but did UGA look like the number 1 team? Of course not. (Did Miami’s opponent look like the #3 team?). Which says their 1-point win to start the season MAY not have been weighed as heavily, and the loss by their opponent should not have been discounted as much - and that’s recognizing that the opponent has played a tougher schedule with wins over MSU and USC.Going by their ratings last week Canes have the most dominating quality win going. Would be totally hypocritical to discount that win now after they raved over ND last week. As for quality losses they are equal to a so called moral victory. Both just equal a loss in my humble opinion
Wisconsin has played nobody and on top of that do not pass the eye test.
