Outside of Texas A&M (who Bama also plays), what games on Clemson's schedule do you consider "decent"?

I think you’re missing the point. The talking heads are saying the ACC is a joke when in reality the SEC is about on the same level.

I don't think anyone is saying that our schedule is better than Bama's. I just think people are saying that their schedule really isn't that good.
All we have heard about this off season is that we are at an advantage because we play in the ACC. This is in spite of Bama having a better record in the SEC over the last 4 years than Clemson does in the ACC. Also, Bama's margin of victory was about the same as ours last season.
Bama's schedule is trash, just like ours. We both have a relatively easy path to the Playoff. This doesn't mean that we aren't the 2 best teams in the nation (We are). This doesn't mean that Bama can't compete with us because they are physically and mentally exhausted from playing such a tough schedule.
The ACC was down last year and it will most likely be down this year. Everything is cyclical. Miami, NC State, Virginia, UNC, and Syracuse are all on the up and up.

Not vastly different. Sure I would say LSU & Auburn combo is more difficult then at Syracuse but otherwise schedules are about the same.
To be honest FSU, Wake, UNC, GT, BC, Louisville has similar level of difficulty to Miss State, Ole Miss, Tenn, Arkansas.
So I’ll give Bama one more challenging game then Clemson but it’s not that different. ACC is down some now true. But just 3 years ago it was undeniably the best conference in 2016 with national champs, heisman winner and runner up, Orange Bowl champs (FSU), and a 8-4 bowl record and dominate record vs SEC. The ACC has won 3 of the last 6 football national championships.

Bama and their Dumbo the Flying Elephant with the microphone FlatulenceBomb on August 31. I know it ain't likely, but if some Coots could beat a #1 Bama team a few years ago, anything is POSSIBLE.

What's the point of this post? Bama's schedule is head and shoulders more competitive than ours.
