So, the OP asks if you took the best player in college football (at the most important position) and put him on the runner up's team who lost narrowly to the national champion (who had said player) would it have made a difference?
In this scenario, does Clemson get to keep Watson also or are they playing their second string guy?

I think it is a bigger issue than that, in some ways. An amazing quarterback is a great asset, no doubt.
However, at least in my memory, all too often a team becomes too dependent on that one component if it is exceptional.
That is always tricky. A bad night by the star qb and you see an upset no one saw coming.
I think teams like Alabama, which are more balanced and less qb dependent do better over the course of a season.
However, with the playoff system, it seems like you can be forgiven a really bad loss, so maybe that has changed.
