Clemson scheduled two non-neutral site games with SEC schools this year. I don't know what else you want them to do except pull a Bowden and schedule four OOC games against Power 5 competition every year. But teams get punished for having tough OOC schedules in the CFB Playoff era. See Ohio State losing to Oklahoma and getting left out of the CFB Playoff a couple years ago. If they never scheduled that Oklahoma game, they likely would have made the CFB Playoff over Bama. There's almost no incentive for Power 5 teams to have a tough OOC schedule these days. It's all about having the fewest losses.

Yes Clemson should. You win the national title and then go undefeated you get the benefit of the doubt. In this scenario it depends how good Oklahoma and tOSU look whether or not the #2 SEC team gets in

Only if Iowa didn't happen or was a close loss. That blowout kept them out no matter what IMO.
