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.
