re: Hypothetical Playoff Scenario

I know everyone will assume Clemson is in due to being undefeated, but if A&M winds up 7-5 (very possible), then Clemson would have gone the entire season without a game against a ranked opponent unless Virginia has a good year and they meet up in the ACC Title Game. All the other teams in your scenario would have faced multiple ranked teams. Hasn't the committee been clear that they want to see teams play tough schedules? Clemson's schedule would be on par with a 13-0 Boise State's schedule, and nobody would even seriously mention Boise for the playoff

Boise is not a Power 5 school. Let's start there. Boise State has not won 2 or the last 3 national titles so that will affect the CFP. There is no way they leave out the defending national champs if Clemson is 13-0.

Just a few short years ago, FSU was a top 10 program, Louisville was ranked as high as #2, Miami was also ranked as high as number 2 and VaTech was a top 15 program....It's not Clemson fault these programs went to hell and then the SEC teams that we play are supposed to be great because they are in the SEC...

All we can do is beat the stuffing out of everyone we play...
