I mean in 2016 they took Ohio State over the team that literally won Ohio State's conference and beat them head to head......and that team had 2 losses while Ohio State had 1.
This happened because Ohio State beat OU non-conference while Penn State didn't play anyone. Conference play is only 75% of a Big Ten team's schedule, not the entire body of work.

I agree - but the flip side would be that Penn State beat Ohio State while Ohio State.......didn't beat Penn State. And Penn State won the conference.
I think overall I'm agreeing with you - there are certain data points that will overrule the general consensus. However, to overrule it, you better have some of those (Auburn in 2017, Ohio State in 2016, etc).
Clemson is clearly more susceptible to all of those types of things this year than any 13-0 team before it (and even more so if it is 12-1).
