Clemson vs Alabama! NCAAF Championship!
Alabama and Clemson have been the two best programs in the FBS the past two seasons. The Crimson Tide are 28-1 since the start of the 2015 season and have won 26 consecutive games. Clemson is 27-2 and looking to complete its second straight 14-1 season. Saban and Clemson coach Dabo Swinney have led their respective programs to 10-plus wins each of the past six seasons. These are the only two Power 5 programs that can say that.

Advantage: Alabama!
Nick Saban - arguably the greatest college coach ever! - never stops learning.
Last year, Defensive Coordinator Kirby Smart, on his way to head coach at University of Georgia, gave up 40 points in that championship game. Made it close with Alabama's 45 points.
This time, Saban "dismissed" Offensive Coordinator Lane Kiffin, on his way to Florida Atlantic, before the championship game!
It's Sark time!
Don't expect this "one for the thumb" to be as close as last year!
Roll Tide!

It really is a game of inches and seconds.
4 National Championships in the last 8 years?
Alabama is still the best in the nation! One game doesn't take that away! 
Next year begins today!
