He is wrong. We beat Baylor, too on the way to the NC.

Baylor and Clemson appear to be the stronger teams to me. I think Baylor should have the #1 seed and we should be second. At least that's how it looks now.
One more loss and Bama won't have a conference championship.

Bama won't beat either of the three teams is his bracket.

Spread teams with any sort of D can handle Bama. I suspect he's right about the seeding. The POC won't seed Bama against Baylor or Clemson. Right now OSU is the perceived weaker of the three and I fully expect Bama's to get what ESPiN believes is the easy path.
Taking either Baylor or Clemson out increases Bama's chances to win it all by a huge portion.
If Bama makes the final then the SEC gets a huge chunk of the playoff money win or lose. You've seen the math.

It's either LSU or no one from the SEC.
Utah Clemson Baylor or TCU Ohio State

That's bold. ESPiN would have you tarred and feathered for such heresy.

Not sold on LSU going undefeated...

They have yet to play Bama, Ole Miss, Texas A & M, and the winner from the SEC East...
If the RB remains healthy, they have an outside shot.

Utah will not go undefeated...they'll likely lose this weekend but have 2-3 other games that are very losable for them.

I don't see how he comes up with a seeding of us #2 & Baylor

#3. since both would likely have to bee undefeated, and Baylor has yet to play TCU, OK, OKSt. I would guess if Baylor finishes that strong, they will probably be ahead of us, since the ACC is so "weak". But hey, I'm not complaining, as long as he are in, #4 seed is fine.

Probably due to lack of Big 12 championship game. He is assuming that the committee will put more emphasis on a 13 win team over a 12 win.
And since Bama has already lost once, it would be Ohio State 13-0, Clemson 13-0, Baylor 12-0 ahead of the mighty sec champs.

I wonder what kind of rate of accuracy the ESPN analyst has?

Is all grand but im just super stoked that Clemson is finally getting the love they deserve. They are showing the world that you dont have to be a "big name SEC team" to make some noise around the country. Hood for the Tigers & good for the ESPN people with their SEC blinders on to see past & through it to notice the Tigers for who & what they are. Go Tigers!!

They are systematically proving the have no SEC bias. Check their programming and see how much is dedicated to the SEC then get back to me with their predictions.
Half the season was spent with many of them having two SEC teams in their playoff projections. That violate everything the POC says about the weight of conference championship winners.
