Attention: For those people that say Alabama has played nobody; that a pile of hooey! Don’t listen to that. Those folks are simply Alabama haters and they do not know what they are talking about. Alabama beat a number 3, a number 4, and a number 16, not only did they beat the numbers 3 and 16 teams, they shut both of them out! They shut down LSU 29-0. Georgia was their best competition with a 35-28 win.
Clemson: The Tigers started the season with a soft opponent, as did Alabama, this one, even softer in Furman- and the result, a 48-7 beatdown. They went on to win 13 more on their way to an undefeated season against Texas A&M 28-26, Georgia Southern 38-7, Georgia Tech 49-21, Syracuse, 27-23, Wake Forest 63-3, #16 NC State 41-7, Florida State 59-10, Louisville 77-16, #17 Boston College 27-7, Duke 35-6, South Carolina 56-35, and Pittsburgh, 42-10. The Tigers beat one ranked team and came close, very close to losing to unranked Texas A&M and Syracuse. From there on out, they rolled and they had some big wins against some ok programs but unranked, with exception of NC State, and they smacked the #16 NC State to the tune of 41-7. That was easily their best win of the season, the Louisville win was huge with 77 points and even bigger than Alabama’s win over Lousiville-51-14.

Alabama is scoring 47.7 points per game and allowing 14.8. Clemson is scoring 44.3 and allowing 13.7. Both teams have an outstanding running game and outstanding quarterbacks.
