We're out because we lost 3 games. Too many ppl forget that minor fact. We're not out because of some committee or some conspiracy.
Try reading before you type, this was about the bowl pecking order , not the CFP .
Clemson has lost three games. They are in. As I’ve said to many others on here, that is a lazy take. If it simply comes down to “no 3 loss team gets in” then explain how they are in without quality of wins and losses, without SOS, and without auto-bids. Nobody has forgotten that minor fact. Wouldn’t go as far to say it’s a “conspiracy,” but it’s an awful system that doesn’t stand on any real merit.
Maybe I'm not as familiar with the rankings as I thought, because I thought teams HAD to be ranked in the top 12 to be in the playoffs. If that's the case, then don't CU and ASU have to be higher than we are?
I think everything I've seen shows them being 11 and 12, but maybe that is just seeding. Then again, what's the real difference between ranking and seeding if you're in? I basically says the rankings (and all the talk about who's outside of the top 12) are completely meaningless.
I genuinely don’t know this, but prestige-wise, how would the Gator bowl, Citrus Bowl, and ReliaQuest bowl be ranked? 1 through 3.
There's no such thing as prestige in bowls any more outside of the playoffs.
Don’t forget the minor fact that we have three losses due to a conspiracy.
The straight answer to your question is...
This. And that has been the pecking order for a couple of decades now.
Really didn’t see much doom and gloom when reading through. Just stating the obvious. Many on here were optimistic. I ended my original post even saying we’ll see what they do tomorrow. Next post was about McMurphy saying Citrus. But maybe I don’t understand doom and gloom.
