Meh...Clemson in a runaway (as opposed to a blow-out).
As much as I really like Nick Saban from his time at U-Toledo and MSU, I believe he will not be “out-coached” but, ‘Bama will be “out-talented”.
This same “super talented” team lost to Pitt!! and had a few close calls along the way...
Clemson comes from the ACC. The ACC year in and year out is not a top 5 power conference. Clemson had to play out of their ass to beat inferior ACC teams like NC State, VA Tech and Florida State. All those teams could have beaten them in the last few minutes of the game. Powerful house Troy only lost to them 30-24. Pittsburgh hung 43 on them and won the game. The only SEC team they played was a bad Auburn team they beat 19-13. If Bama plays their usual game of ball control they win this game fairly easy. Only way Clemson beats them is for Watson to go pass happy again and throw every time he goes back and be successful. That leads to interceptions. I’ve been wrong before but usually teams with a smothering defense wins the game, in the pros and college. So like I say Clemson might win, but I would be surprised. Alabama has to lose sometime.
