Clan Wars TH balance/inferno towers..

I recently started a clan that consists of many of my co-workers and I. I'm arguably the furthest along, but still only at TH 8. We've done a couple of 10v10 clan wars now, and both have paired us up with clans who are WAY stronger as far as the TH levels go. There has been a 10 in both opposing clans (our highest is a 9 with a 7-8 base because.. well ya, he rushed it)

Being the one with probably the better attacks it's usually left up to me to try and get the 10. The problem is always the same.. the inferno towers. No matter how close I get to the TH, the towers melt everything they touch near instantly that isn't a Golum. Is it basically impossible to destroy a decent lvl 10 base with lvl 8 troops? Every troop besides a few dark elixir ones are maxed out, and I just don't throw them out there like candy, but they are still getting destroyed in seconds once the towers activate.

Looking past that, the lvl 10 guy just walks over any base that he wants because of his amazingly strategic plan of sending 100 hog riders at everyone's base (yawn) and our defense has no chance of doing anything about it, so that's always a free 6 stars for their team no matter what.

It's getting pretty frustrating when you're the highest people in the clan, yet your pretty much useless because of the "balance" that the war has put you in.

My questions are these:

1. Do other people/clans have problems with these same issue?
2. Is there any possible thing to be done from my stand point of being a lvl 8 and attacking a lvl 10? Is there supposed to be that much of a lapse in power, or is my attacking just off somewhere?

Thanks to whoever read this and helps out. I kinda needed to vent that..
