The more I see these rankings the more frustrated I am that Clemson is 2. Before everyone tells me that it will play out on the field, that's not the point. The point is they are in a spot where they shouldn't be. They are at 2 because of a home win against Auburn. Miami just steamrolled the committees #3 team last week and have a big fat 0 in the loss column. It's a strange world we are living in where I'm rooting for Alabama and Miami. But the Clemson love from the committee is ridiculous. Deshaun Watson isn't there anymore time to stop giving them the benefit of the doubt.

If Bama, Clemson or Miami (either one), Oklahoma win out and OSU wins out...OSU WILL get in. Only way they don't is if Clemson and Miami play an epic game and they both were to get in.

 

538 projections show virtually no difference between Clemson and Miami winning impacting OSU.

 

538 is about as useless as a $2 bill. We all learned that last November.

Ohio State needs Alabama to win out, Miami to win out, and Wisconsin to beat Michigan this weekend. If that occurs and Ohio State wins out, they've got a shot.

 

It'll be interesting to see how the committee would view 2-loss Ohio State vs. 2-loss Notre Dame.

Big whoop. Committee proved last year that that doesn't matter. Notre Dame's resume would be better.

It absolutely matters when records are equal. Would NDs resumes be better? If OSU wins out they will have 2 wins against top 10 teams and another 1 or 2 more against top 25 teams.

If they win out they would have wins over Wisconsin and Penn State.

Wisconsin isn't finishing the season in the top 10 if they lose....

What? They'd be a 1 loss team. They'd stay in the top 10. They aren't dropping from 5 to 11 because they lost to a top 10 team. No chance.

They've played no one good all season. If they lose to the one good team they play, they'll plummet for the frauds they are.

It is pretty obvious the committee has little-to-no respect for Wisconsin.

I agree they are frauds, but if they lose to a top 10 team they will be one of 2-3 1 loss teams in the country. They aren't falling out of the top 10. Period.

And Clemson gets the benefit of the doubt for everything. I'm not a fan of this committee.

And they shouldn't. For some unknown reason, they've been on my TV almost weekly. They appear to be your typical run of the mill decent top 25 team. Nothing more.
