I try my best to look at any game realistically and unbiased.
I have not seen Clemson play this year and have no desire to watch them.

I also know that there are still a couple games to be played and no outcome is for sure, that's why they play the game.

So say, Alabama does win and Clemson wins.

What does Clemson have?
I know they beat Alabama a few years ago when Alabama decided not to play defense in the second half.
Does Clemson have a legitimate chance at beating Alabama this year?

With that being asked, I will NOT pull for nd and I will NOT watch them play, but I hope they do win and get their wish to play Alabama for the NC. :D
 
Will likely be the title game imo.

Clemson has playmakers on both sides of the ball... Great RB and wr and good freshman QB and a good Dline.

That said bama by 14+

I think I had heard earlier in the year that their DLine was one of the best, if not the best, in CFB.

We saw what happened when there was constant pressure on TUA. If they can replicate that and limit the run, then it should be an entertaining game.

But hey, their defense may not be as good as Missippippi State's (who said that anyway) :D !

Some say they have three 1st rounders on their dline, So maybe I should have said ELITE.

Stopping the run is Sabans MO, and Clemson will look to do the same and pressure Tua.

Imo I wanna see how Trevor Lawrence looks against the blitz
 
Assuming it gets there, and I think it does, I think Clemson will also give them all they want. Freshman QB Lawrence could be the deal breaker though. I havent watched them enough but after he gets hit a few times things might get shakey.

Saban voted Clemson in at the #1 Spot. That should tell you all you need to know.

Coach speak
 
I've loosely kept up with them this season. They have scored a lot of points offensively, but at the same time, really not played a strong schedule. I don't get into the whole strength of schedule stats but hey since I am sorta there, out of the 4 undefeated teams, their strength of schedule was 76th. Bama's was 17th. By comparison, UCF was 83rd.

I'm more worried about Oklahoma right now...more so than Clemson. They are by far more explosive on offense than Clemson. They just suck on defense...but with an offense that lethal, it puts big pressure on the opposing team to either stop them with defense or at least maintain pace offensively to stay in the game.
 
What I really hope is that all the other teams and coaches have discounted ND like everyone else in the country. All that have done this year is win. It wasn't pretty or by a ton of points. They just got the "W"

Any of the other three teams in the playoff would more than likely have the same record as ND does with that schedule.
