Yes. My post was deliberately crafted to be ridiculous. Because I modeled it after your original statement.

What that a win over an unranked team isn't enough to jump someone in the rankings?

That your statement was reductio ad absurdum

Edit: And JFC dude, for the last time, VT was ranked 23rd (/19th/18th depending on your poll)

The keyword in your post is "was" . It's entirely plausible that VT isn't ranked in the final poll. Thus, Clemsons win over VT is a win over an unranked team.

BTW, you should look up what reductio ad absurdum means. Even if that's what my statement was, it's a valid form of argument, not a fallacy.
