CFP Rankings Show Preview #2

The SEC love is predictable but gross. Georgia is the only team that looks legit, The rest look a lot like ACC teams.

Yeah, they’re trying to say that the Domers had such a dominant victory against Navy, which is asinine. Navy’s QB had a thumb injury on his throwing hand and was having a difficult time just catching a snap. He fumbled multiple times and couldn’t pitch the ball correctly. But, of course, ESECPN left that part out.

We gotta remember they’re doing this for ratings so they are going try they’re hardest to but Notre Dame in for the numbers. I wouldn’t be surprised if we lost in the ACC championship they find a way to put us in

He came back like 2 weeks ago against Arizona State and looked like ****. Hurt himself back and is now out for the year. Careers probably over except if he gets a medical shirt.

What a bummer. That d is good enough to ruin the b12 final stretch but no chance w.o. him. Feel for him too
 
Has anyone been favored by 10 or more points against Louisville? If Clemson is such a fraud, you guys should be making some money this week.

Not so fast my friend.

Louisville, VT, Pitt. I’m not convinced they win all 3 of those. If they do, they deserve a spot in Charlotte.

But they have genuinely played 1 difficult game all season, and they got drubbed.

App State — 3-4
NC State — 4-4
Stanford — 2-6
FSU — 1-7
Wake — 4-4
UVA — 4-4

That’s brutal. ESPN doesn’t have a single team they’ve played in the Top 40 FPI. Only UGA, and they got squashed like a bug.

I still think Clemson is a better team than Louisville, VT, and Pitt. Whether they win them all remains to be seen, but I’d bet on Clemson to win all 3. If they lose one imo it’ll be A Pitt.

It’s absolutely awful. And I’m not trying to be “they ain’t played nobody PAWLLLLLL” guy. Truly. But that is a brutal schedule. Even the teams they’ve beaten who are .500 are AWFUL. NC Taint’s 4 wins are western Carolina, Louisiana tech, northern Illinois, and Cal by in a game they were outplayed in (they missed a 28 yard FG with under 2 mins left LOL).

UVA’s wins are Richmond, Wake by 1 in a game they were losing 30-17 in the 4th quarter, coastal Carolina and Boston College.

Wake’s wins are North Carolina A&T, NC State, UConn by 3 and Stanford by 3.

These are abysmally average/below average teams. I mean every single one. UF, Cal, VT, and Louisville are all better than anyone Clemson has beaten. Easily.

The next 3 tell their story:

Home vs Louisville this week
At Lane next week for VT
At Pitt the next week

They win all 3 of those, I’ll say they’re the 2nd best team in the ACC. Not right now after the obscene collection of losers they’ve beaten.

They also have no more bye-weeks. So it would be paramount for them to not have any injuries and stay healthy.

I do think Clemson is better than all 3. But I don't know that, because they haven't played a single team with a hint of a pulse beyond UGA, and they got killed. This is why we play the games. Will be a fun 3 week stretch. As I said in my original post, if they win all 3, they deserve to be in Charlotte and I will gladly admit they are the 2nd best team in the ACC. I cannot say that with a straight face right now with the joke of a schedule they'd had to this point.
