Yeah, can you imagine what would happen if Clemson beat Alabama for the national championship ? If only we had historical precedent . . .
Yes, they scheduled the team that Wake beat in a bowl game in their first game with a new coach (which they obviously didn't know would be the case at the time).
Props to Clemson for realizing they needed to upgrade their schedule to make it look like they're tying to play someone during the season. They've also signed up to play Georgia again in a decade.
Georgia also has a home and home with Texas scheduled.
Here's a link to the SOS rankings. Let me know where you find Clemson and Notre Dame who feast on ACC competition.
I'm still on board for the 8 team playoff with 5 conf champs and 3 at large. I don't even care if an 8-4 team upsets someone in a conference championship game to make it. They won their conference, give them a shot. Make it more like the NCAA tournament, and less like a media-fest/popularity contest.
You two obviously missed the PAC 12 Championship Game Friday night. That league's champion lost to Auburn and neither team in that championship game would have a shot at winning a game against any other team in the current or imagined playoff, including UCF.
Put the eight best teams in.
Apparently increasing to 8 is the only way GA can make it in there.

Count me out among the people who are grumbling about another potential Clemson-Bama game. The two championship games to date have been great games.
why would people grumble about Alabama-Clemson? that's the two best teams.
You're okay with Bama winning the first round of the playoffs 56-10 while a second ACC team who might be deserving goes to the Gator Bowl ? That is exactly the scenario that would keep NC State out of the playoffs -- 7-1 in the league with a loss to Clemson, a bunch of wins against ACC cupcakes, and a good win against an OOC opponent like WVU. I'm sure you'd be thrilled watching a 10-3 Washington team get embarrassed instead of the Wolfpack under those circumstances.
