  This paper concerns the study of a class of clutters called simplicial
subclutters. Given a clutter $\mathcal{C}$ and its simplicial subclutter
$\mathcal{D}$, we compare some algebraic properties and invariants of the
ideals $I, J$ associated to these two clutters, respectively. We give a formula
for computing the (multi)graded Betti numbers of $J$ in terms of those of $I$
and some combinatorial data about $\mathcal{D}$. As a result, we see that if
$\mathcal{C}$ admits a simplicial subclutter, then there exists a monomial $u
\notin I$ such that the (multi)graded Betti numbers of $I+(u)$ can be computed
through those of $I$. It is proved that the Betti sequence of any graded ideal
with linear resolution is the Betti sequence of an ideal associated to a
simplicial subclutter of the complete clutter. These ideals turn out to have
linear quotients. However, they do not form all the equigenerated square-free
monomial ideals with linear quotients. If $\mathcal{C}$ admits $\varnothing$ as
a simplicial subclutter, then $I$ has linear resolution over all fields.
Examples show that the converse is not true.
