I'm not sure how you come to that conclusion. Clemson is not better than they were last season. Defensively they are just as good but offensively they aren't even half as good. They're still top-5 in the country but Bama is still number 1.And Clemson's D will eat Bama's offense led by Hurst's lunch. From watching both Clemson is the better team. Yuk!
