Could this be the tip of the iceberg? How many of their players would have been banned against ND if they had tested the entire team instead of a small sample? If reporters were to dig enough, would a scandal emerge and a national championship be vacated? Is there trouble brewing in Dabo's paradise?

them from the pack among other top teams on a yearly basis.
They're just doing it better than everyone else. It's likely managed and optimized better at places like Bama and Clemson.
I would be afraid to know what % of CFB players use PEDS. It's certainly nothing new. Nebraska in the 80's and 90's and USC under Carroll are just a couple of examples of winning programs that got away with it without consequence.
Hell it's even become commonplace at some high school programs (which certainly doesn't make it right). It's difficult to test everyone, and clearly some schools are very good at "avoiding" positive test results.
It's like saying that all Notre Dame players get illegal academic help every year.

....I mean, if you ignore that, then I see your point.
It was reported as “violation of team rules”in the 2018 bowl game, and later revealed to be PED use when player was in NFL.
This year, Clemson couldn’t prevent the news leak, but Alabama still called it violation of team rules though it was widely reported to be PED’s as well.
Swinney was an assistant at Alabama p/t Clemson.
The NCAA randomly tests 15 players prior to the bowl game, and they even have time to “get clean”. Even so, 20% of the players tested this year at Clemson tested positive (3 of 15). As another poster mentioned, “Imagine if they all had been tested”.
A lot of smoke, and you think that there is no fire? This is not a court of law.
