Frankly, I'm worried about a 14 point Tiger lead going into the fourth quarter. This is definitely Alabama's weakest team since 2013, and injuries, plus no bone jarring, Lightning fast third down pass rushers will prove to be a real weakness. Our offense of line hasn't taken over a game against a ranked team and our depleted DBs Get beaten a lot Playing Man in both long passes and quick slants. Under a first-year offensive coordinator and a defensive coordinator who has 1 foot out the door, we will have to be extremely focused . Thank heavens we got Saban at the the helm
To win, we will have to keep the Tigers offense off the field.

Those metrics are all opponent adjusted.

Our better competition should already be factored into the numbers. That said, I've seen these metrics struggle with certain teams who's offenses don't always translate like they should against the top defenses.
Look at LSU in recent years. If they can run the ball they destroy people and that often results in them being very highly regarded in the advanced metrics. Then they play a team like Bama that they can't run the ball against and their offense goes from scoring 35 a game to scoring 10, 0, 16, 13, etc.
The same thing has happened to OSU frequently in the last 3 years. They can score 60 on Indiana and Illinois, but they struggle to score 20 against good defenses because they can't run the ball effectively and JT Barrett is forced to throw a lot more (which generally doesn't go well).

Bama is rated so highly in advanced metrics because they

flattened the bad teams they played this year. They were good, but far from great, against the better teams they played. Meanwhile Clemson played it's best football against the best teams on the schedule, and did just enough to beat the inferior teams by 2-3 scores.
Will that mean anything come game time? I have no idea.

Each team played different opponents. Each team is coached differently. I suspect, without knowing, that the Tigers played their substitute players for a lot more minutes that Saban did.
This is why you play the games on the field. Head to head. I like the Tigers 27 20.

Here is all that I need to know , or at least what I think I know .
Alabama played one team that I think was equatable to Clemson , and they lost to them .
I won't get into transitive considerations, or defensive players making plays or even who has the best logo ... Clemson will win because we are the best team in this matchup .
I don't know how any other conclusion can be drawn .
