Could there be some body of work stuff going on? Most but not everyone does the beauty pageant thing where we just look at how a team has done the last couple of weeks to move a team up or down. But there are a handful of writers who have a more complicated system.

Like are Ohio State's or Georgia's or Alabama's strength of schedule going down while Clemson's is going up? Even though both Alabama did the typical SEC thing of one real game and 3 total cream puffs to go along with only 8 conference games, the Texas win is holding up ok-ish. Georgia's Oregon win just keeps looking better. Ohio State's Notre Dame win, well, hm... not so hot.

That said, I don't see anything really propping Clemson up. Syracuse's win against Purdue looks a bit better. But it's not like the ACC, as a whole, is suddenly looking stronger.

This is a lot of words to agree and say "Yeah, no idea."
