I guess I just don't get how Clemson could be twice as good as we are, and a Bama almost that much.

Then you don't understand the computer rating system. Unlike the polls, it doesn't contain a component that looks to where the ranker thinks the team will finish. It only manipulates the data available to it to date. Neither the human polls nor the computer rankings mean squat at this stage of the season. It's just harder to convince ourselves of that with the human polls.
