Not much to say except it looks like Sweeney has a helluva football program.
I kinda wondered if Alabama would be stale after all their success.
Also they didn't look so good against Oklahoma after that quick start. That made me wonder too. But congrats to Alabama for having a great season. All other schools would be, should be envious.
As far as the CFP, there's no doubt Clemson deserves the championship despite what Mott says.
.Nobody else bludgeons bama by 28.
We've always ended up with a deserving champion.

In hindsight, I think Alabama coulda run the ball more in the first half. Clemson didn't seem like they could stop their run. Plus the Clemson D looked very winded. No reason for bama to throw it. I was a little surprised they threw it when the second interception happened.

And that fake field goal??? Worst "trick" play I've ever seen. WTF was that?

Not to worry, Alabama, or one of the same half dozen schools will be back in the same game next year

Did Alabama play two teams this year that had a good defense? I know they played one, led to a quarterback question, but two?

Now, got to ask, given that Syracuse beat Clemson last year, and took them to the last play of the game at Clemson this year, would Alabama beat Syracuse? (and I'm hoping it was Syracuse and not one of the other ACC schools)

Probably not. And seeing that Texas A&M took Clemson to 28-26 I doubt Alabama would've beaten A&M this past yr. :doh:

This sort of comparison is almost never accurate. Clemson barely beat Syracuse (27-23). Notre Dame beat Syracuse 38-3. Using your same logic, Clemson wouldn't beat Notre Dame. How did that work out for the Irish?

Yeah, we played several good defenses. We played 8 teams that are listed in the top 50 overall defenses in college football for the 2018 season. And we beat 7 of them.

Clemson dicks around during the regular season. Pittsburgh and Syracuse have had success against Clemson, and two years ago, NC State would have beaten Clemson if not for the worst kicker in the history of the game.

You finally know how it feels to be on the other side. Builds character.

I have been a Crimson Tide fan since I was a kid in the 1960s. I know what the other side feels like. I was still a fan (and wore my Bama gear) when we sucked (Mike DuBose's 3-8 year?).

Only two in the top twenty, and that is on a statistical based list that has Appalachian State and Army in the top six. There was a reason why they blew out the majority of their opponents with big scores, they didn't face consistent top defenses all year, showed last night

And the Syracuse question was only for humor, I don't think Syracuse is a big money football school, probably make more money off of basketball
