If Clemson beats ND in the rematch by 2+ scores does ND


Nov 9, 2020, 9:49 AM

Still make the playoffs? Going to come down to TEXAS A&M if they only lose to Bama and ND in my opinion. Ohio State clearly isn't losing in that trash conference. Bama shouldn't lose. UF I guess would have an argument for the 4th spot with a close game against Bama. Shaping up to be one of the more controversial since playoffs started. Cincy? Nahhhhhhh.

If your scenario plays out in other conferences as well as with a Clemson and ND rematch then ND has the best argument of any possible team.

ND will have a win against a playoff team.

A&M & Florida's best wins on the season will be against 2 loss teams (assuming Florida loses to Bama to get their 2nd loss)

If Clemson can win the rematch, the most likely scenario right now would be:

1. Bama
2. Ohio State
3. Clemson
4. ND

Where it would get really wonky is if... Florida beats Alabama. You would have three 1 loss SEC teams.

If we win the rematch, I don't think ND get the nod.... unless it was a 2 overtime item. But if we have a healthy TL and ok D, we win 21 plus

I doubt it. The may take a 1 loss earlier in the season than one late.

The CFP allows for absolute beatdowns early in the year (without a major issue) more so than close losses late in the season. See OSU's 14 point home loss to a .500 VT team in 2014 getting the nod over a 3 point, last second road loss of TCU (vs Baylor). Of course, you also have 2017 Alabama....

The good news for us is that the CFP weighs the conference win more so - see 2018 Oklahoma
