SCar suffers from little bother syndrome against Clemson. It's the best or second best team in the ACC against a borderline top 5 SEC team.

I’ll be honest, I haven’t sat down and watched SMU one time all year.  I got no clue what they really bring.

Lost to BYU, had to go to OT to beat duke. I mean, they're decent but they ain't no #9 in the country.

Not so much in the Palmetto Bowl.  And also not always, see Dabo’s multiple nattys over SEC teams.  

You’re an interesting cat Mr.Colorado/SEC/Miami/formerTarheel fan. 

Dabo was dominate in his day. Unfortunately his day has passed.

 

For the last time people seem to be confusing my fandom. I'm a UNC fan who happens to have a bandwagon team because I like Prime the person.

 

UNC/Colorado those are my teams. Not sure why you mentioned Miami and the SEC. I'm just saying the SEC is the cream of the crop. Everything goes through them in college football.

What do you mean not reward the Big12 champion? 

2 ACC teams projected in tonight not 3.  

Clemson is #12 but they are first out because they are forced to leapfrog in the #16 BIG12 champ 

Oh I thought Clemson was in. If they aren't then we have no issues. You can't put 3 ACC teams in. That was my only issue.

Clemson won't be after Saturday, South Carolina will be taking their spot.

I just can't see a three loss team that isn't a household name getting in the field.

This season, Clemson just became the 4th team in the history of college football to win at least 9 game 14 straight seasons.   

Dabo is 100% underrated.  Which I get, he can be annoying to outsiders.  The bar for Dabo is just put unattainably high….so people say like to say he is no longer good.

If Clemson wins, they have a tiny shot at sneaking in.  I’d say if Gamecocks win, that shot is much smaller than Clemson’s was

Gamecocks got problems Clemson doesn’t.  Ole Miss and Bama.  Both ahead of them, with the head to head win over them.

Already questioning the integrity of the college football playoff committee.  It would be extremely hard to find a weaker schedule than Indiana’s who got blown out by an Ohio State and the committee “thinks they looked good at times” against the Buckeyes.  The Big Ten in general is being massively overrated and Indiana basically being in now is ridiculous.  Just IMO

It's a no-win situation. If you want to judge it on SOS, then just put five SEC teams in. If you want to do it by record, better add in something like Army, BYU, Indiana, Tulane, etc. The "it's a 12 team field now' excuse is nothing more than entertainment for the fans ... which is fine. My only gripe is that if a crap team wins one of the Power 4 (5) leagues, they should not get a bye or better seed.

yeah, you should get an auto spot not an auto top 5 spot.  I mean, Big12 still could go sideways and the #5 seed is someone the CFP actually ranks way out of the top 12.  Right now it's the #16 seed but it could be lower than that.

I hope they make the playoffs so you can see them get exposed playing vs real competition.

 

Unfortunately they will get exposed by SC.

 

I would be down for a Clemson vs Colorado bowl game tho.

I mean, I don't know if you have been paying attention....but from early on in the year I have said Clemson was ACC good but was never good enough to compete with real top of college football.  And that was true if they were ACC champs. 

So what exactly is going to be exposed?? lol 

They might lose to the Gamecocks.  Smarter money would be on Clemson if you had to pick.  Homefield,  better overall talent, Dabo.  It's a rivalry game featuring two comparable tiered teams this year.  Nothing gets exposed there. 

and I think you draw a line in the sand at this point.  Meaning the CFP can't be viewed as it was.  New era.  The real CFP era was Bama and Clemson.  This is the CFP era vol 2.  Which will feature a bunch of meh teams every year and meh teams bragging about making it and not really being a threat.

While I think the ACC will get exposed in the playoffs. I'm still rooting for SMU and Miami. It would be a good look for the conference moving forward if we somehow had a ACC team win the Nat'l championship.
