Bama was better last year. The SEC is terrible this year.

I disagree. Jalen Hurts is 10x better than Jake Coker ever was. And this stable of running backs are fierce. They're looking next-level right now and have for many weeks.

They are more consistent but their offense has not upgraded from Coker and the Heisman RB they had last year with a Remington award winner at Center.

He is off on balls and they don't have the O-line they had last year. Hence, Saban not suspending those two starters at all. Also, as previously mentioned, their secondary is not as good this year.

Why? Because they are up 13-0 against an A&M team that needed overtime and 7 turnovers to beat Tennessee in College Station?

is bad. UT, Ole Miss and Arky are solid teams. They are top 25 worthy. Bama has not struggled with anyone.
I love my Tigers as much as anyone but right now my eyes tell me Bama is playing at a different level than anyone else. That could change but they are kicking #### out of everyone right now.

Yep, and all the b1tching on this board about the refs and the announcers is very cootish.

I think if we show up and play well we can beat anyone. That being said, I do think Bama is a better team right now. But doesn't mean Clemson can't play better than them on a given night. We are pretty talented too.

If you look at the teams played the first 4 weeks of the season, Clemson shouldn't have had a chance against Louisville.

They've got a true freshman QB. They could've easily lost to Ole Mi$$ if not for some stupid TOs by Chad Kelly (the same team that FSU beat).
They're playing some really good ball right now but OSU, Michigan, Clemson, Louisville, and Washington could all hang with them.
Beating up on some truly overrated SEC teams does not make a team immortal.

Also every week is different, Different circumstances, different setting, different moods and so on. I don't know that Clemson COULD beat Bama anymore than you think they couldn't. I do know one thing and that A&M is overrated and when Bama blows them out because they are overrated like they did Tennessee then the Bama lovefest will only grow. The difference between Tennessee and A&M being overrated compared to Clemson is that Clemson is hurting themselves with the turnovers whereas the other 2 just aren't as good. I am a homer though, so you know......

I almost put 1k on UMASS and the points but didnt. That was the lock of the week imo. Silly coots only beat a miserably bad Minutemen team by 6 at home...
Minutemen and c0cks - what a combo. Wish I was a sports writer - could have a lot of fun with that post game headline

Another stop for A&M in the red zone. 3rd time they've held them to a FG.
