If ya'll would take off your garnet glasses and compare the teams schedule and who they beat you will see why the committee ranked Clemson above Okla. and Miami
Oklahoma has 3 wins over top 13 teams. They just beat #6 and only moved 1 spot.If ya'll would take off your garnet glasses and compare the 3 teams schedules and who they beat you will see why the committee ranked Clemson above Okla. and Miami
Nah, he's a Gamecock. He's just a little lost lol.bosoxcock is not going to like reading that through his orange glasses @jeff2001.

Of Clemson's 9 wins, 8 are over FPI teams ranked 41 or higher. They have 6 wins over top 30 teams. That's the deepest schedule in the country by a large margin. They have the #2 overall schedule in the country out of all 120 FBS teams. That's what the committee is recognizing.Clemson ahead of Oklahoma? How is that possible? Can't wait for the house taters to try and explain that one.
1st of all nobody cares what you taters think. 2nd 4-6 Cuse who just gave up 64 to WF. 3rd ranking of offense and defense doesn't matter only wins and loses matter. 4th Oklahoma has 3 win over top 13 teams. Plus, they just beat #6 and only moved up 1 spot. 5th. If the orange overalls wins out they're in.Of Clemson's 9 wins, 8 are over FPI teams ranked 41 or higher. They have 6 wins over top 30 teams.

The loss to Syracuse is not good, but the committee has already said they recognize that we were without our QB and were playing a road game on a short week to a current FPI top 50 team.
Oklahoma also lost to an FPI top 50 team but they had their QB at full health, were coming off of a bye as opposed to playing on a short week, and were at home. Add in they have the worst ranked defense in the top 15 by a large margin and that's the difference.

You can. Do it. The committee cares less about it than you do. Now, it’s kinda up to you how angry you feel you should be about it.Well if we have to compare who they beat, why can't we compare who they lost to?
Please don't tell me Louisville or FSU are counted in the top 41! They are both garbage unless they are relying on their last few years. Auburn was a good win, but Auburn is much better now than when they played Clemson so that certainly helps Clemson. VT has either lost it or weren't really that good - on a tailspin. NC State Is a headscratcher - good team, but should be ranked lower than the Gamecocks who beat them. And, never seen so many excuses for losing a game - just cal it a W because it really should have been?Of Clemson's 9 wins, 8 are over FPI teams ranked 41 or higher.

No surprises.
He’s explaining what the committee thinks, not what taters think. This is difficult, I understand.1st of all nobody cares what you taters think. 2nd 4-6 Cuse who just gave up 64 to WF. 3rd ranking of offense and defense doesn't matter only wins and loses matter. 4th Oklahoma has 3 win over top 13 teams.

But the presumption is they would have won had Bryant stayed in the game, which mitigates the loss. I thought everyone knew that.Other than Auburn and NC State (explain it's ranking?) Where are those teams currently ranked? Obviously, pre-season rankings are considered, which is ridiculous.
Not to mention Clemson was already losing before Bryant left with an injury

Based on what?
I hope I'm missing the sarcasm in your post?
It's projection, a recognized analytical tool. It's the reason "what if" was invented.Based on what?

I'll take a shot at it...Based on Clemson being much, much better than Syracuse with Bryant as the QB the whole game

Ugh...wasn't clemson losing when Bryant left the game?

Well, facts always trump speculation, IMO. Syracuse was winning BEFORE Bryant got injured, so there is ZERO factual evidence that Clemson would've won had he not been injured. Clenson's defens couldn't stop Syracuse, so it didn't matter who was playing QB for Clemson.
You are right in football games , there is nothing " factual" as to who wins , until the game is over
They were losing when he was in the game. Plus without Cuse QB getting hurt at the 1 yard line and they had to settle for a FG. Plus plus the lucky fumble return for a TD. The orange overalls get beat by double digits.I'll take a shot at it...Based on Clemson being much, much better than Syracuse with Bryant as the QB the whole game
