What's interesting is that Clemson could, theoretically, finish top 15 in total pass defense but be dead last in total pass defense vs ranked opponents after the LSU game.

LSU simply needs to throw for 484 yards against Clemson and they will be 114th in total pass defense vs ranked opponents. The best way for Clemson to prevent this from happening is to let LSU score so fast that they run the ball the entire second half.

If Burrow throws for his average, Clemson will finish 105th vs ranked opponents - tied with Mississippi State.

SOOOOOO Close.

After the last game, Clemson finished 4th in pass defense - and 113th (out of 115 - not every school played a game against ranked opponents) vs AP top 25 teams.
