Re: Is Clemson the most prolofic Propaganda Machine ever?
Bama was better than UGA in '17 and dominated the 2nd half. Only Bama's QB issues made it close. They should have won in regulation. In '18 Bama was fortunate with Jalen getting a wonderful redemption. UGA is a load primarily because of Pittman - he is going to cause problems as long as he is there. Other than that Bama has most of the advantages.
Clemson is a problem. Dabo is a top coach (the "never-Dabo's" are fascinating). But they are hardly invincible. Bama dominated them the year before and the score of last year's game was misleading in some respects (Bama got 16 pts from ~450 yards, outgained by ~40). But the final score was jarring - it had never happened before in 12 years. The worst of 6 losses in 07 was by 7 points vs 5 ranked teams, including LSU and UGA who finished 1 and 2. CNS had been blasted occasionally at every other stop, but never at Bama.
Last year there was concern that both coordinators would be a problem (as someone pointed out Pruitt was a tremendous loss). Neither would have gotten their assignments apart from being great recruiters and CNS wanting to have a knockout recruiting year. A tremendous price was paid. But it appears that the coordinator positions have been addressed. Of course it was not all on them.
The great thing is that we will see.
