Opportunity is what is important. We are way better than we used to be and that's why it is a great opportunity to move up in the national picture. Yes I would say talent wise Clemson and Alabama but maybe Ohio State, Oklahoma and Georgia too. We are almost there and I would rate us solidly as a top 10 team maybe even number 6 or 7. There is nothing wrong with that except you want the opportunity to finish at the top. Nobody remembers who finished 3-5.
I think the difference between Clemson and Alabama versus the aforementioned is the superb QBs. The others have very good QBs and now Hurts puts Oklahoma in that category. Oklahoma's weakness is their defense. We are on the edge of finishing at the top but our talent needs to be supplemented by getting the breaks. Book is very good but I don't think he can win us a championship by himself. Tua, Sunshine and Hurts all can. Fromm is probably somewhere in between.
