Truth is even with all that talent they are still soft. There were points in the second quarter where they were getting bothered by the physicalness of the game.

As for the title, last year was their shot. If they get to play Alabama, Watson's going be treated like a turkey wishbone. Anyone see Bama carrying that belt on the sideline like Tyson in his prime. Clemson will be the Michael Spinks in that senario. The team that beats Bama in the future will be a team of physical men that can take a punch and deliver more back.

Clemson is losing a lot of talent to graduation and turning pro early. It will take a couple of years for that high priced talent to get back to where they are now but unfortunately teams like Tech that are well coached along with Miami, which will also be bringing in talent on level with FSU will be ready. Whoever wins the ACC will have good odds to win the entire shooting match in the next few years.
