Yes, but then why did you separate Alabama and Ohio State from Clemson? Saban and Meyer brought those guys in, just like Swinney.

Pretty comparable over the past 2-3 years actually. Difference is they hit on a gamechanger at QB, and they have seniors that make plays for them.

Ah! I see what you are saying. The reason i separated them was this...who has a ton more talent? Roster wise, Clemson is not in the same universe. They have a lot of talent, but not in the same conversation as Alabama and Ohio State. yet, Clemson gave Alabama all they could handle last year. Had Alabama not done something completely out of character (The onside kick) Clemson might have beaten them.

You might disagree, but if Dabo had the same talent Alabama and Ohio State has, they might win several National Championships....just based on where their program is right now. Alabama and Ohio State have great coaches...but they also have great talent. Clemson, not so much.

Coaching? Dabo recruited Watson, we did not. Dabo has been able to keep those seniors on campus, we have not. He has managed to develop the talent, we have not. Maybe Smart can with some time. I hope so.

This and Clemson has better players in the trenches and at the receiver positions. And IMHO, Georgia needs to get away from being pro QB U and focus on getting the best athlete at the QB position which has made a huge difference in the offenses at Clemson, Tennessee and Alabama just to name a few.
