Bama didn't lose. Clemson won.

I'd be homeless right now because I'd have bet the farm in hindsight. If you'd have told me that Bama would score 31 points, and have ZERO turnovers, I'd have put everything on Bama considering their defensive line.

In fact, I think we should give kudos to the offensive lines on both teams. I didn't think either team would be able to handle the other one's defensive lines and the score would be something like 13-10 because of those DLs. Boy was I wrong.

ESPN touted them as the "greatest team ever" before the fact. Just like they did with 2002 Miami, 2005 USC, The "undefeated Patriots" and the 15-16 Golden State Warriors.

Just call it the ESPN Jynx.

Yes, but the defense was wore out by the end of the game due to the offense going 3 and out so much. So in the end the defense had the chance, but they were just done for.


Up 3 2 minutes left Alabama would take it every time. Most teams would. Tired or not they have to make that stop. Peace.

Saban was out coached in every facet of the game by Dabo Sweeny. Dabo had GOD on his side....oh, and a playbook of PICKS that just made it impossible for the Devil to counter.

OT would have favored Clemson, as the Bama D was pretty worn by the end of regulation, especially in the secondary.

Glad it ended the way it did, and the better team won.

Hurd and 3rd down conversions. Dabo and Clemson tried everything they could to give the game away the first half. Stupid call on 4th down and stupid penalties
