2. Too much talent and depth

You may ask ‘why wouldn’t they put up a fight?’

Well, the answer is two-fold and it begins with this reason No. 2: Clemson just has too much talent and depth.

The Tigers are among an elite group of programs that just have more talent and depth than basically any of their opponents. You can see how this played out this season.

The talent-level between Clemson, Ohio State and LSU compared to the rest of the country is absolutely recognizable.

Honestly, the drop-off between the No. 3 team in the country and the No. 5, 6 or 7 has never been greater and that would play out if the Tigers played in the Big Ten, just as it did with Ohio State this season.
