And worse yet, Miami would possibly become the 3rd ACC team to spot into the OB if both Clemson and ND were in the big dance. Frankly a rubber match in the Playoffs might not be a guarantee if Clenson beats the Irish on a neutral field. The committee may well discount the IRISH win in South Bend (close, no TL, 400 passing yards for a backup). A Clemson win says it's better when at full strength. ND loses, it drops three or four spots.
