'Bama favored over Mighty Clemson

Then why not put in Wisconsin or Auburn? Neither of those teams lost to an unranked team and both played in their conference championship.
Auburn had 2 losses and Wisconsin had the weakest schedule of any P5 school in the top-10. I think bad losses should be taken into consideration just like they are done in basketball when deciding who makes the tournament.
 
I only had to give up 1.5, line is slowly getting larger.. I also bet the under, 47

As more money comes in on Bama , the betting line will continue to grow. The professional gamblers are not close to placing their bets at this point. You can actually watch the line move and the amount of money being wagered on each side (only the amounts played in legal books) on vegasinsiders.com . If the money gets too heavy on Bama , the line will move faster to attract bets with points to Clemson. A line this far out from a game is just a "speculative line", The bookies nightmare is that the vast majority of the money played ends up on one side of the line. Very rich people can become very poor people, very fast when that happens.

Oh I agree, that is why I put Money On Bama Early. that line will be between 3-1/2 & 4-1/2 by game time
 
Top to bottom ACC this year you could argue was worst conference..

You could argue that, but it would be pretty foolish. You aren't going to find any metrics to support it. I think Sagarin, average S&P+ margin, FPI, etc will all say otherwise.
 
The Clown does in fact, thrive on things like that. he is such a self promoter..

Yep, he does this with anything and everything. Just like he intentionally got the personal foul in our game and the visit to the Cuse locker room. Everything is calculated. Everything must be spun and exploited for how it can benefit their program. And that's not hating. He's the master of it. Other people just don't think this way.

Lets say for the sake of Saying, teams are even... I cant see Saban (like you said) losing to a Clown like Dabo in back to back meetings, but hey, that i why they play them..

Maybe if you call Dabo a clown enough times his head will explode but I doubt it. He's a top 5 coach in the country and if you disagree with that, nobody is listening. Reality doesnt change based on your emotions.

The college Football team he coaches won the National Title last year, and is in the Final Four this year, He is still a CLOWN!!!

How? Based off of what?

Overall team talent and coaching, just to start.
Alabama has consistently out recruited Clemson, and with all the bragging that Clemson (Dabo and staff) does about recruiting, then they can't ignore what Alabama has done. It's extremely difficult to bet against Nick Saba when he has a month to prepare..
 
Dabo is one of the top 3 coaches in college football at this moment. Granted , he made many learning related mistakes on his path to this point. It gives many tigers much pleasure to watch/read as some rival fans try and minimize his ability as a premier coach at a power 5 school .

There is no value in listing all of his accomplishments here ,as those that are gonna hate are gonna hate. Make no mistake , the people whose opunions matter know exactly what Dabo is worth to a program.

I am not sure if Terry Don Phillips knew what he had when he promoted Dabo , or if he went cheap and got lucky. Either way , there is zero argument that Dabo has overseen the largest improvement of any college football program during the period of time he has been head man.

Keep on hating , the people that count know what kind of football coach Dabo Swiney has grown to become.

So if I go over to taternet and brag about what Muschamp has accomplished at USC, exactly what type of response do you think I'd get?
 
Still had to beat Auburn in the SEC Championship game, also kicked the tar out of the Yellow Jackets from the ACC.
Clemson did same thing (winning conf championship against top 10 team and beat GT and also beat their rivals).

My point is that you can't use the "ACC" argument against Clemson then act like Georgia had a tough path to where they are.
 
I've got 1 major problem with Bama. They have a bunch of high performance sports cars all over the field and a Ford escort at Qb. It seems anytime they face good team his play of choice is to roll out and throw it to someone on the sidelines. Can't believe with how they get the blue chips down there they have a QB that wouldn't start for half the teams in D1.

They have a hard time recruiting the top QBs each year . I think it has to do with the offensive style they employ. It also hurts them at WR . That being said , they get more than their share of RBs , Big Uglies , Line Backers , and DBs . It is tough to criticize based on his results, It’s scary to think about what they could do with a Baker Mayfield or Deshaun Watson at QB and Sammy Watkins , Mike Williams , DeAndre Hopkins , Ashton Jeffries , or Sterling Sharpe
 
Auburn was missing it's best offensive player against Clemson; 1300 yard, 17 TD, 5.0 yard per carry RB Kerryon Johnson.

What happened to Clemson this season when it's best offensive player got knocked out of a game?
They lost to MTSU.... OOps i meant Syracuse, MTSU would have beaten them even worse..
