Deservedly so. Clemson is getting far too much hype. Onward! Beat Penn State!

I'd say up until this point Clemson has had better wins than we have. With that said the meat of the schedule starts Saturday. Let's get it

Most coaches don't watch the game, especially within 24 hours of the results.  We basically covered the spread, so they probably weren't aware of what a shitshow the 1st half was.

AP has a bit more time and incentive to watch entire games, but they are generally not moving top teams if not for upsets or near upsets.

Clemson's game was basically a redux of ours...struggled in the first half against BC, rolled in the second half. Even Tennessee didn't jump for that overhyped win against a bad LSU team

I don’t see TCU, Syracuse, or UCLA running the table or even ending with one loss. Tennessee and Ole Miss are due for a couple losses too I’m not concerned about them. 

It’s USC, Clemson, and Oklahoma St we need to pull for to drop one or two along the way. Granted, we run the table we probably are the 2-seed if there is an undefeated SEC champ.

If we win next weekend high probability undefeated OSU-UM game.

IF Bama can survive Tennessee and whoever else until Bryce Young is back, high probability undefeated UGA-Bama in SEC championship game.

If rest of country has 1 loss, and If UM-OSU close, both probably in.

Regardless of score, 1 loss SEC championship game loser probably in.

Would not be surprised to see Bama, UGA, UM and OSU playoff....

Will need to root for ND to beat Clemson.

I would just ignore the polls until it’s playoff selection time. Many of the top 10 teams will be playing each other before the end of the season, it’ll all work out.

Given that even the committee will forgive Alabama and Georgia for anything, even losing to the other in the SEC championship game, Michigan has to win out anyway. So #5 or #4 just doesn't matter.
