re: Tell me why Bama is favored over Clemson

It's a great spot for Bama. Coming off a loss, undervalued. Our last 2 matchups were coming off a blowout with 1 week to prepare. This time we've got 5 weeks to prepare and get healthy. Much more like a season opener than the past 2 national championships. Also, Clemson has a stud D-line best in football, but they are below SEC caliber at LB and their secondary is average. Their offense looks a lot like ours. QB is very similar, great WR's, good Oline, not as strong RBs. They just run a different scheme in a different conference. They take more chances so more big plays and more turnovers.

It's a good spot for Bama I think we take the rubber match.
