I think that will happen with the playoff committee.

If you mean when their rankings first come out, I would agree, but IMO, if both finish undefeated, Bama will be the number 1 seed, having beaten AU and UGA in their last 2 games. Clemson has little left.

Depends on Miami for them. If Miami wins out also that would set up to undefeated teams in their championship game. Miami does not have a tough road ahead with only VT to deal with.

I would not mind Clemson being ranked #1. After all they are the defending champs and are still undefeated.
Most folks on this board will think I am crazy, but I think Notre Dame should be ranked higher. They only have a one point loss to UGA and they have handily defeated their other opponents....including Michigan State.

Michigan is NOT that good. I know the press wants sooooo bad for the Saban and Harbaugh matchup but it is not happening. They'll finish 3rd in their division again.

He should try to be better than 1-4 v. OSU and MSU first before signing up for cage fight with a Saban squad.

Yeah, I agree. Bama has the most upside because Clemson’s schedule was frontloaded badly and Bama is catching it on the backend.

GT and NCST will end up being quality games. We're are literally gonna make up some distance on the BACK end of the schedule if we beat Auburn then play and undefeated Georgia then defeat them too. Even so, there is a chance Clemson is playing a no loss Miami but at either rate there is a chance their ACCCG is a very good opponent too. Also, their season ender against SCAR could end up being a solid resume win too.

We're just not gonna "catch" Clemson's resume before the playoffs assuming both keep winning. They should be #1 right now and I don't really understand why they're not in the AP poll. I suspect that if everything holds serve then Clemson will be #1 in the CFP poll.

More than likely you’re right though they’ve struggled against terrible teams. They’re still winning and they are the “defending champs.” I guess get ready to go to the Rose Bowl.

It's where we should want to go...let Clemson risk half their team spend all night in the casino or strip club.

Washington hasn't played anybody! If they had played anyone with a pulse I might agree with you.
Washington’s schedule is back loaded. I’d rank them in the top 5 based on personnel, coach, and how they’ve handled business so far. I watched part of the Cal game after ours and they look like a good football team to my eye.

I GENUINELY hope Bama gets moved to #2. I think they play better that way. Problem is, #1 gets field advantage meaning of Clemson is #1, we go out to the rose Bowl

I really don't care either way, but I would like to see us remain #1 so we can continue to pad our "most wins as the #1 ranked team" stat.

Also, I disagree that winning the national title the previous year entitles you to remain at #1 the following year until you get beat. It's a new season, new players, sometimes new coaches.

Lastly, I want to beat Clemson wearing Crimson. Haven't done it since Coach Bryant I think.

I just want to say that it really peevs me that technically (thanks to Florida State imploding after we broke their QB) Auburn has a better actual resume than us if schedule alone is taken into account. I'm so used to them playing cupcakes and catching everyone else at the perfect time.

The clear answer there is to best auburn. That would take care of the discrepancy, right?
