re: Pretend LSU beats Alabama in 2 weeks..

Clemson is in if undefeated. Though I think they have no room for error and will be jumped by either an 11-1 Bama/LSU, or a 12-1 conference champ Oregon. I bet many committee members don't feel like they can keep out the undefeated defending champ even if they think they should, but they would gladly use a loss as the justification for punishing a terrible schedule.
