And it would be pretty fucked up if ND had to beat Clemson three times to win a NC, but Clemson could go 1-2 against ND to win the NC. But I guess I could see it. If it plays out as you indicate, I think Clemson clearly would be more "deserving" than TAMU. It would also be difficult for the committee to leap USC over Cincinnati if Cincy wins out (and therefore wins its conference championship). Currently Cincy is #8 and USC is #15 in the CFP. Also, if ND beats Clemson again . . . how is ND not slotted #1 in the CFP? Especially now that Florida is dinged with the LSU loss.

My hope for which 4 teams make the CFP. - NDavenue - 11:46am 12/13/20 (23) [View All]
- If we beat Clemson again, they are out... more likely scenario - Chrisb - 3:49pm 12/13/20
  - Don't see Bama melting. You gotta beat the best...to be the best. [NT] - TakethetrainKnute - 11:56am 12/14/20
  - Do you promise? I would take that right now without hesitation - Irish_Demon - 5:54pm 12/13/20
  - I'll take it and would roll the dice in the final game. By the way you finally got your running - THEISMANCARR - 4:44pm 12/13/20
- USC hasen't played anybody. Therefore they can't be in the final four [NT] - Hank the Tank - 1:47pm 12/13/20
  - ESPN playoff predictor has USC with a higher chance than Clemson to reach the CFP. [NT] - NDavenue - 4:52pm 12/13/20
    - clemsom would creme SC, Clemsom would be a 21 point favorite [NT] - Hank the Tank - 11:25pm 12/13/20
      - Sure, but USC could still make the CFP. But ESPN has that angle covered. - NDavenue - 11:08am 12/14/20
  - It's not so much who they've played, as it is they have barely won most of their games. Paper tiger [NT] - Irish_Demon - 1:51pm 12/13/20
    - they have a freshmen QB, but you are right. [NT] - Hank the Tank - 2:55pm 12/13/20
      - Slovis is a sophmore and a two year starter, but otherwise, yes. [NT] - Irish_Demon - 3:01pm 12/13/20
- Cancel all ' title' games and have Southern Cal play Ohio State for the 4th spot. [NT] - ND521 - 1:24pm 12/13/20
  - As long as they play each other 5 times, that's a good idea. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 4:32pm 12/13/20
- It probably won’t happen but i like that...Yet,I don’t think it’d be fair to allow either USC or OSU - Irish83 - 12:05pm 12/13/20
  - Part of me thinks the committee has just been humoring Ohio State. - NDavenue - 12:17pm 12/13/20
    - delete, wrong placement [NT] - Irish_Demon - 1:50pm 12/13/20
    - Don't think that's likely. If OSU is still ahead of TAM this week, then that's impossible [NT] - Irish_Demon - 1:47pm 12/13/20
    - That would be a bad look for the committee to do that [NT] - NDNEIL - 12:44pm 12/13/20

  - I think you will see a big jump by USC. - NDavenue - 12:10pm 12/13/20
    - jumping Ohio State by USC will never happen [NT] - Hank the Tank - 1:50pm 12/13/20
- It will be interesting to see where USC is in the CFP rankings this week. A big move up is needed [NT] - Irish_Demon - 11:52am 12/13/20
  - USC is a joke in the running game and defensively. They do potentially have a strong passing - THEISMANCARR - 11:57am 12/13/20
