Middle-third at a T20 with no law review is an extreme long shot, sorry. Your softs are interesting enough that you might not be a complete dead letter, but that only matters if people pull your resume in the first place.
I would focus on other things for now and maybe take another look at clerking after better 3L grades and biglaw.

From my understanding of the common wisdom, you're not going to have a good shot just by relying on OSCAR. Professor calls or other personal ties may help get your resume examined - but even then your stats will be competing with many other law students with better grades who also have your softs. I agree with the person who says to focus on grades in 3L.

OP here, thanks for the feedback. That's what I expected. Might still send out apps for the hell of it but not expecting to even be interviewed.
