Their recruiting...it all starts with the players. Their d line looks very imposing but their secondary could be exposed. Offense will lull you to sleep and then bust a big one.
BUT, I think Clemson isn't a great match up for them and we could expose some of their weaknesses with a good game plan.

Let's see...
- won 13 games
- won the SEC Championship
- produced a Heisman Trophy winner
- allowed more than two touchdowns on defense in one out of fourteen games
- recovered and regrouped after an early season loss
- got better each week through the season
- dominated the #3 team in the country in every phase of the game

Sorry I guess I was comparing your year to Clemson's and it just didn't sound near as impressive.

Funny thing is, all the Bama fans think ESPN hates Bama.

The fact that there's more inquisition / less trash talk going each way actually says a lot about the respect both teams have for one another.

Bama helped nurture a great future coach that goes by the name of Swinney!

In reality, most impressive is they only lost one game.

Only espn-esque trolls will downplay that accomplishment. Knowing how to win every game is a skill that is mastered by creating a culture, and creating a culture is hard. But, that's also why I think we win this game. We have learned the same thing, and we have a chip on our shoulder.

Losses don't count in the SEC.
Ask Fatt Bielma. Arkansas only lost 2 games all season.

I'm not knocking them btw, I'm actually curious what other Clemson fans think Bama has done to earn that 7 points they're favored by

The points spread is based on popularity contest. You have to keep the book balanced. More sports betters are going to bet on them for many reasons. 1. Historical reputation. 2. They have more fans. 3. The reputation of Saban.

Beat three teams that were undefeated and in the top 10 at the time the game was played. Two of those games were on the road.

Consistently being in the top every year is impressive. But Clemson will make a big statement and gain a ton of respect come jan 11

Alabama is a good team. I think Dabo's press conference comments about them pretty well sum up them accurately. Both us and Bama have great personnel and great coaches. This game is going to be a tough game that either team could win. The team that makes the least number of mistakes wins.

They made it to the big dance despite losing to a instate rival. (Deservedly lowered their rankings)
They produced Clemson greats -- Ford, Howard and Swinney.
They shut out over ranked MSU and should've probably played Stanford instead.
What they haven't done is won perfectly. (I'm not saying we have.)
They didn't destroy UF...?
