We still have a lot of football left before we start talking about the best teams. After three weeks we are certainly getting a better idea of the what teams are real and what teams are pretenders.

To say Clemson has exceeded expectations is a bit of an understatement. But that is a "So far". The offense is playing quite a bit more disciplined than last year because Kelly Bryant is staying within his skill set and not relying of improvisation as Deshaun Watson was so good at. Turnovers are way down....Special Teams is doing a fine job as well. (Placer Kicker is a little shaky).

VT is the next big challenge in 2 weeks. Bud Foster has a great defensive mind and they have tremendous fans up at Blacksburg where the game will be played. If we get out of that game with a 5-0 record then we could be looking at at another special year.

Clemson in my opinion is the best team in the country right now. Their defense has dominated and Bryant has done a good job stepping in the QB position. As of right now, I don't see another offense on Clemson's schedule that could outplay Clemson's defense. I could see FSU and maybe VT's defense possible slowing Clemson's offense like Auburn did but their defense will give them the ability to win a game without having to score 21+ points.
Clemson has won two games in a row against top 15 teams and that is the reason why they should be number one in the polls. As you said, there is a lot of football to go and a lot can change over the course of the season but there is no denying that Clemson is proving to be the best team in the country.
