True.

And this is something else I was going to bring up. Clemson opens with UGA on a neutral. If Clemson loses and then runs the table...is Clemson an automatic top 4? Their schedule is absolutely horrendous. And they miss miami and UNC in their crossover games.

Good point. It gets ND a playoff win but we arrive at the same destination as before. All we're doing is watering the process down and devaluing the regular season.

Right. Which will make their regular season matchup and subsequent conf championship matchup even less significant.
