Computer Rankings take time to develop.
Clemson isn't going to be #1 by the time the season is over.
Its the Notre Dame win paying dividends for them.
If you look at the irish schedule you will see a lot teams who got upsets over ranked teams(Particularly in the AAC). Its those chains making them so high up in computer metric rankings.
1)Clemson beats Notre Dame beats USC beats Utah beats Michigan. (That's one insane computer ranking chain)
2)Clemson beats Notre Dame beats Texas beats Oklahoma beats Tennessee beats Georgia
3)Clemson beats Notre Dame beats Navy beats Memphis beats Ole Miss beats Bama beats LSU & Wisky
Likewise, the Big 12 could get left out again if OKstate or Baylor win the Big 12 with 1 loss.

Look at the Massey Composite. Clemson is first in a bunch of polls. There aren't enough games left to impact the computers that much.
