Like what? Clemson beat another mediocre team? It is too subjective. Getting the 2 best teams somewhere in the top 4 is relatively easy. Choosing #3 and # 4 is a crap shoot. P5 champs and a wildcard seems fairest to me.

I'd be fine with that-which probably gives us all five conference champions plus the Alabama-LSU loser unless they stub their toe.
Sure, Clemson struggled against UNC but they've also won 7 or their 9 games by more than 30 points.

Game control, efficiency, FPI, SP+, side by side advanced metrics, DOS, SOR, modified Delphi process, expertise, former coaches,
Like what? Like that.
How many times did they get the wrong teams out of the 20 choices they have made?

Clemson's in if they run the table. I don't get why you want to die on that hill.

They seem likely out with one loss though. Wake?

That game's at Clemson-I know they blew a game to Pitt or somebody at home this time of year and still made the championship game a few years back, but I'd still lean their way. They're another team who is probably rooting for Minnesota this morning and LSU this afternoon.
I admit ignorance of the details of most of the metrics you posted. However, either LSU or Alabama losing in a good game when playing each other should trump Clemson dominating NC State regardless of what your metrics say, but it won’t. As far as getting it wrong, nobody really knows. A lot of the playoff games have been beat downs, and it is pretty likely they got it wrong on some of their #3 and #4 picks.
I know, like everybody else in the country and everybody on the selection committee, that Clemson is in the top 4 if they win out. The committee put them at #5 to make a show that all their metrics matter, knowing that after this weekend either LSU or Alabama will have a loss and they can put Clemson in.

You're probably right-dont forget about about a PSU loss
I am hoping for that, though I don’t think anyone expected that game to go the way it has so far.

Minny wants it more, but let's see how PSU looks coming out of the locker rooms.
If Minnesota can get 6 on their first drive, pedo is in deep ****.

I'm going for a punt block here if I'm Minny.
Should've, now they put it on the ground.
Nm, wrong thread.
If tOSU, LSU and Clemson run the table then it will come down to Bama, Oregon and OU for the last spot, assuming Oregon and OU also win out of course. It would certainly go to Baylor if they win out but I don't see that happening (I really thought they'd lose yesterday). If a 1-loss UGA beats LSU in the SECCG then I think both LSU and UGA would get in along with OSU and Clemson.

Agree. I love UGA’s D. I don’t think they can slow LSU O and score enough points to beat LSU. Two tall orders. And I picked them to win natty.
Georgia has been solid if not spectacular all season, the USC game aside. Their leading receiver got hurt yesterday and his status is uncertain, that's a big blow to a receiving corps that was very thin on experience.

I think Kirby said he would be back and could have played in an emergency.
So I would take that as he'll be playing this week since they have a huge game on the road

Alabama's heading for the Sugar Bowl barring some epic collapse by LSU or two of the Big 12, Pac 12, and Big 10 putting out two loss champs.

College Football Playoff Rankings: LSU jumps Ohio State for No. 1 as Clemson, Georgia enter CFP top four
LSU is the new No. 1 team in the nation as Clemson takes its deserved spot in the updated CFP top 25

Week 2 rankings out.
Observations: Ohio State, Clemson, and LSU are all in complete control of their fates. Committee doesn't respect **** Bailer right now (they're at #13) or the Big 12 in general-Oklahoma's 10th. Alabama still 5th, but their ceiling isn't much higher than that in my opinion unless LSU or the Pac 12 teams collapse (If Oregon and Utah get to the P12 title game at 11-1, Alabama doesn't have anything that holds a candle to that).

Thought Oregon and Utah would get jumped by Minnesota. Glad they didn't.

College Football Playoff Rankings: Penn State, Oklahoma inch up as first seven teams in CFP top 25 hold
Coming back to beat undefeated Baylor did not mean much for Oklahoma, which moved up one spot

Week 3. Top 7 the same. Big note: USC enters at #23. Great news for Oregon and Utah-Utah's loss to USC is now that much better, and Oregon's resume got a huge boost with the W over them. Gotta think they both move ahead of Alabama next week with wins over the Arizona schools Saturday. Really want one of our teams back in this year.

What if 2 loss Wisky (which I believe wins the B1G West if they win out) beats tOSU for in the B1G CG?
It aint happening but I think the B10 is out then.

I agree-chances of it happening are low, but still. My guess is 12-1 OSU actually goes and Wisconsin would go to the Rose Bowl. They'd have wins over Wisky, Penn State, and Michigan. Hard to pass that up for Oklahoma IMO-Land Thief resume if they won out is a sweep over Baylor.
