Clemson suffered a rare loss in Death Valley Saturday, but remained very much in the playoff picture after Michigan and Washington also lost. In this edition of What They Are Saying we take a look at what is being said on Twitter about the College Football Playoff.
Common question being asked: How is Louisville ahead of Clemson? (Shoulder shrug.) There may be voters who just like Louisville better now.

If Washington loses, I would be careful and not write them off BUT, I'd think they sink behind OSU, Clemson and Louisville this week b/c SOS

Clemson doesn't look top 4 right now but it has 3 more games to change that barring another upset.

Good chance though that Clemson drops behind Ohio State because Buckeyes have better loss — and we heard this week that losses matter too.

Washington, Michigan and Clemson all lost and all still control their own destiny to win league title game.

Having played the third-easiest schedule of any Power 5 team, Washington falls to ninth in Strength of Record… https://t.co/voQxma7YtB

DOWN GOES … MICHIGAN?! On top of Clemson & Washington?! Upset (Stomach) Saturday. But I would still have Harbaugh's team 4th in top 4.

Here are the top 6 teams in the country according to the FPI:
1) Alabama
2) Michigan
3) Ohio State
4) Louisville
5) Clemson
6) LSU— ESPNU (@ESPNU) November 13, 2016
No. 2 Clemson lost, No. 3 Michigan is scoreless, No. 4 Washington is trailing. Can Alabama just scrimmage itself in @CFBPlayoff?

Many think Louisville should be ahead of Clemson because "their loss is better." Louisville's loss was to CLEMSON. Head-to-head trumps all
