Clemson also had three key defenders out for that game.
 
Are they back for this game? From what I recall, a couple may have had season ending injuries, but I am not sure of that. I really haven't followed them much, nor anyone this year.

Disclaimer: This doesn't even feel like a real CFB season at this point. I am so ready for this to be over and get on with next year. With all of the games that were cancelled for my favorite team, I haven't really gotten into this season much. So I could be completely missing the boat on this one.

I don't see any way the committee keeps ND out if they lose a close game to Clemson. If they are blown out by double digits, maybe. But a close game, I think they are in.
ND a one loss ACC not conference champ vs A&M a one loss SEC not conference champ

ND current #2 in the CFP poll vs A&M currently #5 in the CFP poll. Unless ND gets blown out, why would the committee jump A&M over them? ESPiN has contracts with both the ACC and the SEC, so the talking heads are good either way. :)

I think the committee is more independent than most and not worrying about ratings, but I could be wrong.  I don't think A&M has a realistic chance.  I don't think ND with a loss has much chance either if Cincy wins.  Including a G5 is a something some folks want to see of course.  So, my guess is Bama Clemson OSU Cincy.

I'm OK with that.

It does not have a contract with ND, who still plays its home games on NBC. I don't think the ESecPN crowd will cater to ND.

Disney makes its money solely on who turns on televisions to watch their CFP.  They're not about to scrap millions of Notre Dame viewers simply because ND usually plays on NBC.  In fact, this is one of their limited chances to get Notre Dame on their own network rather than a competitor's-- you better believe they'll jump at the chance if there's any way they can rationalize it.

UGA-Vandy game is cancelled, UGA is said to be looking for another opponent, including A&M as an option, in Athens.  That would be interesting.  Would A&M vie for a shot by perhaps beating another ranked opponent?

SI is full of shit as usual.

You can't seriously believe that A&M turns on anywhere near as many TV sets as ND does?  I mean, you know you're making a really weird argument here, right???

ratings also take into account how many fans would like to watch a certain team lose

many more fans hate Notre Dame than the Aggies
