It will basically come down to how good Clemson's offensive line is and can they make Bama turn the ball over.

How about Louisville and Syracuse?
both good teams, lville is young though. Cuse plays physical and Cuse QB does the option as good as anybody I've seen and a quick guy. speed kills.
Clemson basically spotted Cuse 14 points and still won by 13-17

10 to be exact but you get the pointless nature of all of this.

bama hasn't faced a good passing QB all season, or a dual threat QB. that kind of helps the run game. lol
Didn't you say last week that Dak was the perfect match-up to shred Alabama's defense?
You also stated that Clemson's defense was elite when it came to stuffing the run, yet a very simplistic run-oriented Syracuse team merely put up 242 rushing yards compared to their 80 yards passing. So tell me please how "great" this Clemsux team is when they're not even capable to stopping the run when they know it's coming? That seems like bad stat to have if you're wanting to take down a player capable of winning the Heisman in Henry.

true
but keep in mind in the playoffs, Clemson will run Watson a lot more than we have and our offense will be even more potent. trying to avoid getting him hurt in the regular season against Syracuse and the like. lol
if our NFL WR Mike Williams projected first WR to be taken in the draft had not fractured his neck we would be a lock for a natty
but i suspect Peake, Legget, Cain, Renfrow, Artavius Scott, Hopper, and Ray Ray McCloud to be household names by the end of the season. Clem going to unleash a new kind of hell on defenses.

Dude, I'm fairly certain Alabama would destroy ND. Like, 2012 style. Clemson, I'm not so sure. Looks like that would be a tough game for both teams.
One thing you and others overlook about Alabama though, is they've had Coker all year. He's been HORRIBLE for stretches in games all year. That is being factored into all these games. It isn't, "oh no, what if Coker doesn't do well???" He almost never does really well. Alabama is kicking arse because they are amazing almost everywhere else.

Did you just say if 1 player was still playing you would be, and i'm quoting you, a "lock for a natty?"
Locks don't happen with 18-23 year olds.

Clemson isn't a threat to any good team.

ok well ND is better this year than that team. bama prob would beat them but it all de;pends on Coker. i wouldn't be that confident in Coker but maybe he is better than wut i've seen.
ND isn't likely to make playoffs, i would take Stanford in that game and even with one loss, ND is a stretch b/c their schedule looks weak with Temmple losing to unranked team. they def. got to beat Stanford and then hope standford wins the PAC 10. ND doesn't have a conference title game to boost their resume as well
I think it is more likely you see the big 12 champ than ND.
if CLemson screws the pooch to UNC or SC, difficult to see ND getting in b/c loosing to Clemson has actually boosted their resume compared to other 1 loss teams plus not really legit to take ND if Clemson beat them.
it is possible that if Clemson were to loss ACC title game to a highly ranked UNC team they would still get into playoffs given OSU got in last year with a bad home loss to Va Tech.

watson is easily the most buff QB. and he slides well

It's about the same thing. Lightning can strike, and Bama can go down, but you'd go broken betting on Clemson in this situation.
I would argue that Bama has been beaten before by programs who didn't have the caliber coaches or players that Bama had...but for whatever reason they still beat em.
Sometimes it's just your day and sometimes it's not.
I think Clemson has shot.

Cuse didn't pass on us. they had a some big run plays, but Clem gave them a short field on two fumbles.
Clem not facing the option again either. lol
Cuse only scored 13 points when they had to drive the ball down the field from the 25 or so and their QB's threw a few unbelievably accurate balls against Clemson pressure.

But, y'all have no clue. Cal winning depends on Goff. MSU winning depends on how Dak plays. Watson makes y'all what y'all are. Coker just needs to be his normal average as hell self for Alabama to have a great shot to win.

i odn't get comments like this b/c Clemson has a Heisman contender at QB and much better WRs and our RB is as good as Henry in my view. we have NFL talent on defense and probably best secondary in nation
you are saying bama players are better but eye test doesn't say that.

you obviously know nothing about our RB Gallman. he's as tough a runner as you will see.
also keep in mind we have a better running QB than Watson that Clemson will play some if the run game can't get going.
Posted on 11/16/15 at 1:05 pm to Jamie Lannister
Clemson is going to have to score points to beat Bama. Bama's D can get to the passer with 4 and stop the run with 6. It will be tough to get in the end zone.
