This topic is strictly about a 1-loss Clemson team vs our 1-loss tOSU team. Edit: Yes, this means they would also get in above UNC, the team they hypothetically just lost to.
In the case that they (Clemson) lose--it will depend on the way they lose--there is a chance that they may get the nod over tOSU.
Finally, don’t write off Clemson — which could have an opportunity to make it in even with a loss. In the event it fell to UNC, Clemson would have a résumé similar to Ohio State’s as a one-loss non-champion — but with a better strength of schedule, an additional win (Clemson would be 12-1 to Ohio State’s 11-1), and victories over Notre Dame and Florida State.
