While I appreciate your perspective, you somewhat made my point. Fields was injured running up the middle in 1 half of play vs Clemson. What if Fields has been running like that in 5 additional games along with all of the rest of their players being exposed to potential injury? Football is a violent game and multiple players get hurt to some extent in every game.
Example: I'm sure Alabama would have loved to have had Waddle for the rest of the season if they had chosen to opt out of their game vs Tennessee.

If the game had been closer, your point would be more relevant. Remember that Oh St also was without Master Teague and their backup from Sprayberry High School ran all up and down on Clemson's mostly intact defense.

I have to say ... it is ridiculous that a team playing 7 games is going to play for a title against a team that played 12 games. From a wear and tear, injury standpoint, that is not a small advantage.

This, Clemson gave up 639 yards of total offense. They were trash last night. Clemson played a garbage ACC schedule, as pointed out by the ACC's bowl record, as well as Clemson's performance. The offense wasn't Clemson's problem, it was their defense. Makes you wonder if there wasn't some truth to the sign stealing claims.
