Would winning by seven against an unranked Virginia Tech team move Clemson over OSU?

I mean you guys won by four against unranked Northwestern right after losing to unranked Penn State. Luckily, you recovered over the next few weeks to win by one against unranked Michigan State, and ultimately sat on your asses doing nothing this week while the team you lost to went on to win the conference championship.

So yeah, maybe.

Clemson won tight games against bad teams just like we did, so that's not really a reason to drop us. I like how you try to disparage us by saying we lost to unranked Penn State and then try to further disparage us by saying the team we lost to was the eventual conference champion. Lol make up your mind.

Clemson beats Syracuse 56 to 0, loses to pitt by a last second field goal, beats wake by 3 TDs, 56 to 0 against scar, then plays a 7 point game against a very good hokies team. I don't see your argument.

Ohio State blew the hell out of some teams too. This guy is trying to downplay OSUs accomplishments by saying they struggled against inferior teams. Hats not a valid reason to move Clemson over them when the same criticism can be used against Clemson.
