highly to "fatten" us up for Clemson. Such an occurrence would require more than one or two rogue votes. And your post seems to be addressing the playoff selection committee which is not involved at this point.

My point is that our 13 ranking seems reasonable and any kind of general effort to increase our ranking in advance of Clemson game is kind of nonsensical. The media may start talking us up for that purpose, but that is separate from our current ranking.
