I'm being genuinely serious, I'd love to hear a rational unbiased argument for Clemson as a deserving playoff team that isn't "well, their preseason rank was really high and they stayed there." They barely beat Auburn, FSU, UL, Troy, & NC ST (3 of those games at home!)- all have proven to be mediocre at best, at least two legit suck. They lost to Pitt at home who is bad. They don't have a single impressive win on their schedule do they? Seriously where would you "begin"? There's nothing. Blowout win vs South Carolina State? Sick conference road games like BC, GT, & Wake?
Like cool, you're a Clemson fan and this is gonna work out for you and hey, maybe they'll peak now and make me look stupid, but how can you pretend there's any actual argument for them having been a top 4 team over the course of this season?
What team in the Big10 has a better win than Auburn or FSU?
