If you don't think we're top four....

after watching games this weekend - who keeps us out? UGA and OSU - suspect, but I give them a pass everyone else - no way - we would roll TCU and Michigan

JK - this is your first response to one of my posts - thank you - BTW I love everything Clemson, including basketball. While I'm not a big basketball fan - I certainly root/support them every night. I do think your questions about the football program are reasonable - but as you guessed, I do wear orange tinted glasses and respect our football program's success while wishing other sport programs could find a similar level of national prestige. Go Tigers!

it sucks to be the last one out. Love the bb team but left out at 5 is way different than 69

We needed Tenn to lose, they did, thanks to the chickens., we needed Southern Cal to lose they are 2 spots ahead of us, they pulled out a squeaker against ucla, 48-45,, they still have bama ahead of us, but if we win out, we will jump bama due to having a championship, so unless, we know one other team will lose in the ohio state/michigan game, we will still need at least 2-3 more teams to lose in the championship week.. this was that crazy weekend in college football that could have been more upsets

We will jump Bama if we win out and win the ACC. LSU likely loses to UGA in the SEC Champ and is done. Ohio St should take care of Michigan next week. If Notre Dame beats USC and the above happens we take #4 spot behind UGA, tOSU and TCU.
Kansas St over TCU in BIG12 would help seal the deal.

You think we would roll Michigan and TCU? You might want to get your head checked.

Put 8 in the box against Michigan - especially with Blake Corum out - they can't move the ball TCU relies on big play throws - 2 safeties doubling everything over 20 yards - they can't move the ball

"Roll" them? No, but our defense seems like it's legit (ND game not withstanding, and even then, it was really the offense that let us down). This isn't the '16 or '18 team, but we're as capable as anyone else at this point of the season, it would appear. If we could ever actually play a complete game and put it all together for once, we have a chance against anyone this year. Not orange colored glasses. Just looking at results...

Are you kidding me ? Have you watched them play ? You can’t seriously think TCU would beat us.

That's was my 1st reaction as well FTW. This Clemson team would not roll any opponents worthy of playoff consideration.

don't think there is a dominant team in the country. I think you could make an argument for almost any team why they shouldn't be in the playoff and an argument for every team as why they won't win it all. I think there is a lot more parody than people will lead you to believe and I don't really think there is a dominant team or conference out there right now.

We might be top 4, but we haven't looked like it this year. We are getting better though.

We are not top 4 yet as everyone above us, with the exception of Tennessee, won.

Let’s put another old fashioned beating on the ole gamecocks next week. South Carolina has struggled against good defenses with exception of Ky. I think with championship level defense and if our offense gets the turnovers in check, don’t count us out to close out season with a bang. What this week showed us is that the other big cfb teams are vulnerable. We need to cheer heavily for Notre dame and Ohio state next week.
I am now more confident we could do some damage in the playoff if we work our way in.
