Who cares? It's not like it matters much when finishing in that range.

.. then plugged it "dont lose to Loserville and the pathetic coots" and the maf checks out. Clemson would be ranked higher than SMU.

true but they proved time and again they weren't playoff level competition.

Fluke losses happen sometimes... Pitt beat us the year we won the National Championship and we were far and away a better overall team than them. Gotta find the logical conclusion.
SMU was good for sure but I think in terms of schedules its apples to oranges. They didn't play any high ranked teams did they? (until Penn state) WE played UGA so strike that loss out and then compare us.
They were for sure a couple steps below us.

AP ranking is fine

1) we would not have been in the CFP if not for auto bid and while not getting destroyed, we still lost. AP not gong to reward a team and move them up when the only reason in CFP is an auto bid and said team lost
2) benefit of head to head wins is limited
3)look on bright side, we are highest ranked 4 loss team!

“…if not auto bid …”
Sorry to crack on you, but what you said is ridiculous.
The auto-bid is a clearly defined, unambiguous criterion by which a team gets into the expanded 12 team CFP.
If you’re going to complain, then the subjective aspects of the selection process should be your target.
BTW, I’m sorry that Bama didn’t make it in the CFP for you.

We made the playoffs because we for an automatic bid for winning our conference, not because we were ranked in the top 12.
Hope that helps.

Don’t let something bother you that you can’t control. We made the playoffs and have a chance to win it all. Omly 12 teams can say that.

If you don't wind up #1 then everything below this is a reason to for the following year to practice harder and play harder for the next year. GO TIGERS.
