their highest quality win is over 4-3 Virginia, who also happens to be the only team they've beaten who doesn't have a "losing" record.

We also currently have one common opponent with them (Stanford) who they beat 40-14 while scoring two TDs in the 4th quarter to get to 40, with their starters still playing the 4th quarter to do it.

By comparison, we were up 42-7 at the end of the 3rd quarter and played 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th string the entire 4th quarter and won 49-7.

So in regards to Clemson specifically, I call bullshit to your calling bullshit.

Updated playoff projections (various sites): ND in some, out some. Ambiguity for me... - SteveM - 12:23pm 10/22/24 (30) [View All]
- This is not necessary. We have a 63% chance to make the playoffs. I know this because some doofus at - BaronVonZemo - 5:26pm 10/22/24
- Someone earlier mentioned no Power 4 or 5 team with only one loss - MarkHarman - 1:15pm 10/22/24
- Our percentage of making it if we win out are 60ish so that makes sense. - ndphysics - 12:37pm 10/22/24
  - LOL you really, seriously, honestly, not just fucking with us..think at 11-1 we have a 60% chance? - Chrisb - 8:37pm 10/22/24
  - Where are you seeing that? ESPN FPI has 11-1 ND 99% chance to make playoffs [LINK] - Turkish - 12:51pm 10/22/24
    - 11-1 Notre Dame will always be in. 10-2 with this schedule and I think we are definitely out. [NT] - tky21 - 8:55pm 10/22/24
    - ND beat 1 current ranked Power opponent, (A&M). Wins over ranked Army / Navy won't mean squat. [NT] - SteveM - 1:01pm 10/22/24
      - Are you going to admit you're wrong when 11-1 ND makes playoff? - Turkish - 1:06pm 10/22/24
        No, I surely hope we make the playoffs. My questions weren't rhetorical... - SteveM - 1:46pm 10/22/24
        No calculator can account for all the variables a committee will consider. - ndphysics - 1:50pm 10/22/24
        Your questions aren't rhetorical, they dismiss 25+ years of history and data - Turkish - 2:46pm 10/22/24
        Which team above us has a weaker schedule let alone teams [NT] - WoodstockIrish - 8:05am 10/23/24
        Penn St, Clemson, Iowa St, BYU - Turkish - 8:24am 10/23/24
        All have played teams in the top 10, have 2-3 ranked opponents - WoodstockIrish - 10:10am 10/23/24
        We're ranked behind them now because we lost to NIU and 3 of them are undefeated still - Turkish - 1:43pm 10/23/24
        
        It's lovely how wrong you are. The teams I mentioned have beaten nobody. [NT] - Turkish - 1:38pm 10/23/24

        They played #1, will play #19 and will play a top ten 10 in their conference - WoodstockIrish - 12:23pm 10/23/24
        You're talking about what they WILL do, current ranking is about what you have done, we HAVE beaten - Chrisb - 1:20pm 10/23/24

        A 1-loss SEC or Big 10 team who then loses 2nd game in the conference championship - WoodstockIrish - 12:45pm 10/23/24
        So what? It's a 12 team playoff [NT] - Turkish - 1:40pm 10/23/24
    - That link shows 56% [NT] - ndphysics - 12:54pm 10/22/24
      - 56% to make playoffs TODAY. Not 56% to make playoffs as 1-loss in a month - Turkish - 1:04pm 10/22/24
        Ok. I missed that part. Will see. It seems hard to believe it’s that high given - ndphysics - 1:48pm 10/22/24
        Twists are inevitable, and will almost exclusively benefit ND - Turkish - 2:47pm 10/22/24
