And why would you have a 3 loss Auburn ranked ahead of PSU?

And 10-1 Georgia behind a 2 loss team and a 3 loss team?

A 3 loss team that Georgia beat 2 weeks ago.

I like their schedule and I think they are better @ this point of the season.

I believe Georgia is overrated as a 1 loss team.
I think LSU will smoke them.

Clemson should be ranked somewhere around 15th. Their body of work is ridiculous. There should be ramifications if a team chooses to play in a cupcake conference and then plays a cupcake OOC schedule. Clemson should not get close to the College Football Playoff.

Imho these composite rankings are the best "system"...they contain lots of "data points" (computerized and human rankings systems) which helps smooth out biases of individual rankings systems...

You really don’t think Clemson is one of the top 5 teams in the country? You can’t blame Clemson too much for their schedule , I doubt any other team scheduled 2 SEC teams in their non conference.

Clemson hasn't played any team currently in the top 25. Not one. They scheduled 2 of the weakest SEC teams. If Clemson wants respect why don't they schedule Alabama and Georgia? I just think that teams should be ranked by their body of work for the year that the ranking applies. Clemson's body of work doesn't merit a top 10 ranking this year.

Do you think Clemson is one of the 4 best teams in the country? Ignore the resume.

Georgia just beat Auburn 2 weeks ago

I have no idea whether Clemson is one of the country's best teams. They might be better than the NE Patriots or they might be worse than Maryland. There is no way to tell since they scheduled 12 cupcakes. That is why I think that rankings should be based solely on wins and losses and strength of schedule. If SOS is weak then the team should be ranked low regardless of record. That is the only fair way to rank teams in my opinion.

If we played Clemson's schedule we would likely be undefeated too. If Michigan played their schedule they would likely be undefeated. Heck, if Indiana played Clemson's schedule they would also probably be undefeated. There would likely be 20 undefeated teams across the country if everyone played a schedule like Clemson's. Thus, SOS has to be a prime criteria in ranking teams.
