What have you done for me lately is the name of the game and is the entire basis of the lobbying for the playoff. Bama, Clemson, Ole Miss and SMU all fell off a cliff to end the season.
Someone else went undefeated on the back half beating 4 ranked teams along the way.
How you play down the stretch has to matter and I actually picked Clemson to beat Texas. I still think Texas isn't that good. Clemson just didn't show up.
