No, the money & flexibility still wouldn't be worth giving up, but that won't happen anyways. We all know all 5 of those teams aren't going undefeated (outside of the SEC CG matchup), but I do love hypotheticals, so I would be very interested to see them pick between undefeated ND & undefeated Clemson... Michigan may or may not fall off as ND's signature win and FSU/USC being down hurts ND's SoS some, but Clemson's signature win will be NC State at home, @ Texas A&M, or Miami in the ACC CG, none of which scream elite either. I do agree name matters some & the committee would punt in that case & put both ND & Clemson in over the 1 loss SEC CG loser, especially if it's Georgia. For the same reason I think ND or Clemson would get in over WV or Colorado if it came down to it, even if those teams (particularly WV) have better SoS.
