If you look at the numbers, Clemson is better than Alabama in every offensive AND defensive category except for scoring offense.


What? No they aren't.

Offensive Yards Per Play
Alabama - 7.92
Clemson - 7.37

S&P+ Offense
Alabama - #2
Clemson - #7


Total yardage is a silly way to decide who is better at something.

This... S&P+ at least accounts for schedule differential... Late in the year, Clemson's schedule was more comparable to UCF than Bama... Hard to use total stats with that kind of discrepancy.
