Actually for the first time in a decade Alabama has the advantage over their opponent here.

But to answer the OP's question, I think the one clear advantage Clemson has is their WRs 1 on 1 with our DBs. Fortunately the biggest mismatch in Alabama's favor is our defensive line against their offensive line which hopefully will mitigate their WR adavantage. Their defensive line without Lawerence against our offensive line is a push.

Special teams efficiencies:
49.4 Bama
33.7 Clemson
Bama’s is so-so but Clemson’s is even worse.

Clemson DL is (or at least was) a huge mismatch. That is a dirty DL.

Apparently lots of matchups went Clemson's way.

I'd like to bump this thread. I said the below and was absolutely torched.

It appears I wasn't aggressive enough. Every unit of Clemson's was better than Alabama's.
