Clemson's defense was not the machine they had been coming in. Syracuses offense (receivers/QB) was their usual high tempo selves without any turnovers. Clemsons defensive line was the only group which played up to their talent. Also once Kelly Bryant got injured before halftime Clemson's offense became a bit more suspeptible to the Cuse defense.

ramssuperbowl99 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Riddle... If a Clemson Clemsons in an October and there are cameras so you can't just pretend it didn't happen, did the Clemson still Clemson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only way (assuming both undefeated) and they would deserve it in that case. Georgia will have one good win all year if they lose to Alabama which would be Auburn. In this scenario, here would be the "good wins": Clemson: vs. Auburn (currently ranked 10th) at Louisville (currently unranked, is this even a good win at this point?) at Va Tech (currently ranked 15th) Georgia: at Auburn (currently ranked 10th) at Notre Dame (currently ranked 16th) Then you're comparing losses. Undefeated Alabama vs. Syracuse. Georgia > Clemson in that situation. Without a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDawg Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 A one loss Big Ten champ is guaranteed in over Clemson. By the end of the year, with games left to play, the wins are just better. Hard pressed to see the quality of loss not being far better also. If Bama were to lose one and win the SEC, they’d probably make it over Clemson even though their wins wouldn’t be as quality. Same as UGA. They’d be likely to have a more quality loss. Then you have to assume Clemson wins out and is fighting for one of the last two spots with the PAC and Big XII. You still have undefeateds in those conferences. Even if you have one loss champs coming out, there’s still a conversation to be bad. Besides, if Clemson did make it, it likely doesn’t end well. They have some glaring weaknesses and are not a championship team this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised Cuse's OL was able to hold up if the Clemson DL played up to their talent. Guess Cuse has a better OL than I realized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Georgia keeps playing like they have all season, they will give Bama problems and I can see Georgia upsetting Bama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our QB is always our best run offense. We havent been able to run on a D2 squad but we were able to run on freaking clemson Maybe it was just an anomaly? Coming into the game Clemson was ranked 8th in YPC allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateDawg Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I’m interested to see what the committee would do if there are a lot of one loss conference champs, and Bama were to lose to UGA. Their strength of wins, outside of Auburn, who would probably then fall to the 10-15 range, would be very poor. But, they might still be viewed on a pedestal. I personally am a believer that the conference title game should be treated as an eliminator/playoff game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Georgia would have Florida, South Carolina, Kentucky, and Georgia Tech as well. Those are all teams with the potential to close the year out ranked. I bring those teams up because if we're going to consider Louisville to be a good win for Clemson, those teams I just listed would need to be in that conversation. Literally all those teams received votes to be ranked this week but missed the Top 25. Just like Louisville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
