Jeff- is your logic that Clemson is number 1 because they beat the highest rated opponent (ND) of any of the undefeated teams?
Then your logic could be that ND is the best team with 1 defeat because they lost to the highest rated team. (Clemson)
Trying to understand why you have Irish over like TCU, Baylor and Michigan State? ( though I think Irish will end up above at least 2 of these teams if they run the table......Temple, Pitt, and Stanford are in the Top 25. If so, they get into the dance.)
