Can we please stop the narrative .....


Oct 28, 2019, 2:56 PM

There is now zero chance that an undefeated Clemson team gets left out of the playoff.

There are only 5 undefeated teams left:

Clemson
LSU
Alabama
Ohio State
Penn State

LSU plays Alabama
Ohio State Plays Penn State.

That leaves a maximum of 3 undefeated teams.

To keep an undefeated Clemson (Defending National Champ, 28 game winning streak, ACC Champ) out you would have to put in TWO 1-loss teams... and neither will have a conference championship.

There is simply no way it can happen and not blow up the entire CFP.

Actually...

Minnesota, Baylor, SMU and Appalachian State are all still undefeated as well.

Fair point.

Minnesota plays Penn State.

App and SMU aren't going to pass Clemson.

Baylor could get in the mix.. but even then you have 4 undefeated conference champs with 4 spots.

Still no way Clemson gets left out.

Clemson is either #2 or #3 depending on how Ohio State and Penn State do.

There is absolutely no scenario...

where an undefeated Clemson team gets left-out of the CFP. That just ain't gonna happen.

Baylor

Group of 5

You are correct.. I was only looking at the top 10. My mistake.

Either way, SMU and App aren't going to get in over Clemson.

No way both Baylor and Minnesota are able to jump Clemson.

Minnesota still has to play Penn State.

I guess it's still mathematically possible to have 5 undefeated teams at the end of the year.. but I don't see Clemson coming out at the bottom of that pile.

Lose a game, and get back to me.
That is how Clemson is left out.

For all the hysteria, there was never a chance

an undefeated Clemson was getting left out.
