Part of me is listening to the "Clemson hasn't played anybody with a heartbeat" yet.  Their secondary was somewhat exposed last night against USCe, a team which struggled in the SEC.

What is their most impressive win to date?  A&M on the road by 2?  Edging 9-3 Syracuse at home by 4?

Beating NCSU soundly at home?  

I dunno, not a whole lot of track record there, certainly no opponent anywhere near top ten caliber, and only one ranked opponent.

I think Bmam should be in if they lose to the Dawgs, dern fine team
but, if Clemson loses to Pitt???  it's questionable, of course not any good 2 loss teams

The candidates among 2 loss teams are, well, nonexistent really.  If we have mayhem this weekend, I think UCF gets the nod, and 12-1 Bama.

That presumes OSU and OU both lose, which is faintly possible.  OSU has shown they can be pretty mediocre this season.  OU has shown they can lose to Texas this season.

Clemson has really not "played anybody", other than perhaps Syracuse, if you count that one.

Bama's closest brush with a loss was a half time tie with, wait for it, the Citadel.

Texas and Washington, a la the AP????

Do you realize how many ranked teams Clemson has played this season?   Number 18 Syracuse, and they beat them by four, at home, and No., 22 A&M who they beat by 2. Clemson has looked good beating a bunch of bad teams.  The two teams they played with a bit of a pulse they beat by a total of 6 points.

Maybe we can credit them with being better with the new QB fully present, but they were struggling with Syracuse before he was hurt.

I'm not sold on Clemson.  I think ND is better, or at least has better wins.

Of course, mighty Bama has only defeated three, LSU, MSU, and A&M.  UGA has only wins over two and a loss to one.

Yeah, I dropped them below Notre Dame this week for the first time all season.

Clemson would have to get crushed by Pitt. Which is very unlikely. Miami's DL crushed pitt's OL (who lost their best player on the OL 2 weeks ago) and Clemson's DL is similar in talent.

Yeah, resume is part of the equation, not the equation.  Same with Bama.

Opposing coaches might hopefully think this....until their OL has to block their DL.  Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth.
