The Blue Board

Can't speak for the other 2 spots, but I'd have LSU and Stanford in there as well.

You are discrediting Clemson offense which is very good nearly elite... lets not forget that... FSU struggled to start the game, no doubt... but they settled in and adjusted... lets not jump to saying the defense isn't elite... this could very well be the only team to score like that on FSU...

Is FSU defense the best... nope and I have said so before... but they are top 5.... and that isn't shabby at all...

Clemson's offense is good, nowhere near elite.

Any offense thats sporting an oline as bad as that, cannot be considered elite. Thats why they probably needed all the trick plays.

Clemson's offense is pretty good. You had to expect FSU would give up some points but 37? That's too many to call a defense elite. FSU very well may have a top 5 defense but there is nothing to suggest that as of now. They played 3 horrible offenses and then gave up 37.

To be fair, Alabama hasn't played an offense worth a damn. First team defense has given up 14 all season, all by Michigan, but I don't think our defense is as good as it appears. It's very good but not as dominant as the stats so far suggest.

Honestly Clemson scored once after a muff... And once after the game was over and celebrated... Lol i am not calling us the best defense at all... But Clemson had some tricks that would work on any defense Bama included... When Sammy has the ball in his hands you bite... O but he can throw...then add that brooks had over looked his zone for Sammy and you have a wwide open play... Then their online held us on every play yet they went a whole half with no calls... Including a face mask that just iced how the refs were against us....im not disappointed in our defense...clemson took advantage of a lot and im glad we beat a good team...

My point was more that no one that FSU had faced before Clemson had anyone. Wake Forest is a team of 2 stars and I doubt the other 2 even had anyone close to that.

Clemson has a good offense, averaging 39 points per game. They got 37 at FSU.

Only point I was making was that Bama fans are the main people talking crap when honestly you don't have much to base off of yet... I don't doubt you but I also cant say you will step up when you play LSU who I think is your only test of the year....

I dont think he lost his cool.

He let his qb ball out, and I applaud him for that. Jimbo couldve been selfish and called 20 passing plays instead of those 35.

Sigh... Clemson oline did very well early in the game... is it hard to give them any credit ...
The defense eventually wore them down... they are still elite.. how many offense would tiu say is better than Clemsons... not many... yea we gave up 37... but it isn't like all good defenses don't have bad games... some are acting ad if this is some new thing... it happens..

Our defense has given up 21 points over the past 6 games. First team has given up only 14. That is elite.

Auburn gave up 26 to Clemson. Granted that was without Watkins but their defense is far from elite. FSU may prove to have an elite defense but right now you can't call them that when they've given up 37 to the only opponent with a pulse.

FSU fans must have a completely different definition of elite than me. Elite defenses do not give up almost 40 points and over 400 yards at home. Clemson has a good offense, but they are far from elite, dont kid yourselves. FSU has a good defense, but it is far from the top defense in the country like many were claiming, and definetly not elite.
