and plays Clemson again in one of the semifinals. Nearly all the college football experts are predicting Notre Dame makes the playoffs despite the outcome of the Clemson game. Nearly all say Notre Dame's resume is better than Texas A&M. Some don't see Ohio State as having done enough to move up one position. The timing and manner of the Clemson loss is what most on this board are reacting to. The Committee is tasked with selecting the best four based on the overall body of work this season. Neither Ohio State nor Texas A&M have better wins. (The win over North Carolina will look really good to the Committee.) And, neither Ohio State nor Texas A&M played a top three team twice. Keep in mind, most of the experts said before the ACC Championship game, it's hard to beat a good team twice. If Notre Dame were to play Clemson a third time, the outcome would be much closer than yesterday's disappointment.
