AP voters. They are stupid, lazy hacks. They are the ones creating and perpetrating this narrative of Clemson not being worthy. It was somewhat in jest when I posted the question “wonder how many places we fall after winning yet again.?” It’s a weird season that we may be on a 28 game win streak, conference champion and still overlooked for playoff. It’s becoming abundantly clear we no longer can afford membership in the ACC. Guilt by association....
There is zero chance that an undefeated Clemson is left out of the playoffs this year. None. Not going to happen. Its a scenario you just don't have to worry about for 2 key reasons:
1) It ain't gonna happen. 2) We can't control it anyway.
But point #1 should be enough to remove anyone's need to worry. The CFP committee is not going to leave out an undefeated P5 conference champion (much less the defending national champion).
Previous spots unless they lose. Agree or disagree with where the teams fall, I appreciate that they reevaluate things every week. That's certainly not the lazy approach.
