Clemson only losing one game during the regular season (I'm assuming that one loss is against the Gamecocks)? C'mon Nate, you're forgetting the Clemson choke factor. They're good for three losses at least. Its so predictable that you can easily replace 'Clemson' with 'choke' in normal conversation and people would not even question you!
There seems to be a typo. You have Wisconsin in the top 25.
