No, because ND would then be the de facto acc champ.

“There is no minimum game requirement to be eligible for the College Football Playoff,” the committee announced. “The selection committee's job is to select the top four teams beginning November 24 and continuing through the final rankings December 20. The number of games and wins by each team is certainly important in weighing its ranking, but it is not the only factor.”

They have to play 6 to get to the B1G Championship Game.

If they ain’t there, how can you say they are one of the four best teams? Just because they’re OSU?

committee has completely forgotten the reason for their exisitence - to have some objective standards that are proved on the field, primarily by winning football games, while not relying on the "eye test" or preconceived biases. And here we are, everybody on the committee has Ohio State in the top 4 right off the bat, before they have proved jack shat, based entirely on preconceived biases. The fact is, the Bucknuts do not deserve to be in this conversation, PERIOD. I don't care how good anybody "thinks" they are, they flat out are not deserving. If they do get in, the CFP Committee has become a total sham devoid of integrity.

If they do get in, the CFP Committee has become a total sham devoid of integrity.
The bucknuts opponents are something like 7 - 22. Who have they played and beaten "with a pulse besides Hoosiers"? As you said so well here, the preconceived bias is what will likely be leaned on; but shouldn't. BYU is not getting any respect because of it's schedule. Well, sorry bucknuts, your schedule is just as bad. And, you have a small sample size against "nobody besides Indiana" with a winning record. These dudes will likely be playing Northwestern in the championship game. Who BTW, lost this weekend. Indiana didn't just destroy Maryland; even with a bunch of Terps out of the game. Was the fact Indiana had a chance to upset the bucknuts just early season lack of gelling? Who knows.
But, you hear old football coaches talk about it all the time. The football team that plays game 1 - 3 is not the same team that playing at the end of a "normal season"! By game 6 or 7 it starts to click for more and more of anybody who was new starters. If they make it and get beaten will people go: "they really didn't have a chance to learn each other; but if they had......"? There should be a minimum even in this covid year. Just like an injury or having a kid on the Covid list - you play through it. It's tough "stuff" if you can't participate! No less fair than all those teams back in the day who never had a shot at a Natty the way they choose National Champions back in the day! Or no less unfair to the AAC, SBC, MWC, MAC who all have to basically play for "no real opportunity" of making the playoffs. As expensive as football is - how and these programs still field teams with no real shot - in this Covid year if they played all their games - how is it fair? It isn't.

Sounds easy but we must win another ACC championship & not let ND think they can come to the ACC & own it.
We need to pound ND really good! With Trevor & our defensive players. Had we managed our last drive in regulation the game was over. We have to right that ship & again in the playoffs would be great.
Love to see ND be the 4th team & beat Alabama & it be Clemson & ND in the Championship! It would be great for the ACC & we’d spank their butts!

I've heard several commentators say if we beat ND in the ACC Championship, both of us should get in the playoffs. A third game would be historic. However, I don't believe our coming victory over them in the championship will be close. Be hard to put in a team that was just beat handily.

I would love to beat the domers badly (gotta beat VT 1st), and if we do, domers 'could' be left out. CFP may discount their win due to the absence of TL and key defensive players.
DJ played GREAT, but they knew our coaches would not risk injury by calling on him to run much. The threat of a QB run helps open up other plays.

Anyone who thinks we are going to just walk over N.D. I believe is going to be disappointed. an O-line like they have combined with a formidable D-Line keeps u in any game. I believe we are better, but they are a tough nosed veteran team.
Having said that, I predict 34- 26 good guys

The fact that we almost, and should have, beat them - with our back ups, at South Bend - is where Clemson fans get that idea.
