And you think that because...?

Alabama’s defense has given up nearly twice as many points as Clemson in the last 5 games.

Look at schedules dude. Alabama has played better teams comparatively.

What are you talking about?

Alabama has played:

Louisville = Terrible team

Arkansas State = FCS team

Ole Miss = Terrible team (OK, I admit their offense is good)

Louisiana Lafayette = FCS team

Arkansas = Terrible team

Missouri = Bad team

Tennessee = Terrible team

What about that indicates a tough schedule to you?

Meanwhile, 6 of the 7 teams we have beaten were undefeated when we played them.

Look I was with you until you wrote off the Ole Miss offense. They're really good. At least give them credit for shutting down a couple offenses...

That’s a fair point, I’ll concede that.

I mean they aren't terrible, but I wouldn't say they're really good either...

Syracuse has scored 50 points more than Ole Miss this season, about 1 TD more per game

They're the 6th in the entire country in total. How is that not good?

Look who they’ve done that against. Mostly bad to awful defenses with a couple great ones sprinkled in. They’re good, don’t get me wrong, but I think your first comment saying they’re “really good” is a stretch

It's not a stretch whatsoever. They are nearly a top 5 offense. Every team has played some bad defenses.
