The ACC is insanely overrated in the Playoff rankings
As is LSU

The SEC is overrated as well. 3 top teams and the bunch below them are postured as well. At the end of the day, somebody has to fill the spaces. 8-20 is highly subjective.

This should surprise exactly no one. SEC teams will always get the benefit of the doubt based on past playoff performance. Honestly I’m surprised they didn’t have Tenn and Georgia 1, 2.

Would be positioned to make the field in a 12 team playoff based on the schedules of the teams sitting 8-14.

I mean, yeah, LSU's very overrated. So, I get it but they do have 3 of the top 6 teams. 3 of the top 5 IMO--I think Clemson being 4 is insane

It's about where they belong. With some luck, they would make it into a 12-team playoff.

Hoping Clempsun takes an L vs Notre Dame or elsewhere because
a) would be a great match up for PSU in Orange and
b) they would get destroyed by any of UGA, Ohio State, Tennessee, Alabama and don't have any wins as quality as what Michigan did to PSU
