Alabama football fans, this is not a predictions post. Bama Hammer will have several game predictions over the next few days. Instead, this post asks if Clemson might be a tad over-rated. We are not saying Dabo’s team is not the nation’s second-best team. And we are not saying they are incapable of beating the Alabama Crimson Tide.
But, Clemson’s schedule was weak. The computers rated it as less weak after playing Notre Dame. That too is misleading. The Fighting Irish were probably the most over-rated team in the FBS. Notre Dame was a good but not great team.
