It's not being able to beat any one team up that is the question.
It's the weekly grind of the SEC schedule that can trip a team up. Look at GA - SC
Clemson has only been challenged once this season vs NC and they were lucky to get outta there with a win. Nobody in the ACC can on paper even come close to Clemson.
I am curious as to how Clemson is going to react this season when they run into an LSU or Ohio State- or any team that has the horses to go toe to toe with them.
Probably the same way they did against Alabama last year...by beating them down.
Among other things, Clemson has never lost to OSU. They beat them 31-0 the last time out.
Clemson would smoke everyone in the SEC East
Not sure I agree with that. The ACC is a joke.
They wouldn't boat race either Florida or Georgia because both of those teams play great defense. They'd beat every other SEC East team handily. Also depends on what day you happened to catch Clemson on. They beat their best opponent this year, Texas A&M, by 14 and almost lost to North Carolina. If they played like that against either Georgia or Florida, they'd lose.They don’t play anyone but they’ve managed to handle the top dog 2-3 times now..
Clemson is stacked.
They’d boat race everyone outside of maybe Georgia.

Really curious to see how Clemson plays in the CFP because they are essentially just going to be thrown into a really high-profile game having not played in one for a calendar year. Their conference championship game isn't even going to be a real test.
