Topic: Clemson or Alabama, who do you like tonight?

[The E-Man]

Tonight's championship game is going to be a good one. I'm leaning toward Clemson winning the title. I think the Tigers will prevail in a thrilling game.

I'm with E!  I like the underdog.

Deshaun makes some big plays and the Tigers surprise.  Clemson 34 - Alabama 17.

[BHFIOHIO]

[Herdfan2005]

[ThunderValley]

[jamez009]

Bama.
The SEC regains their rightful position at the top of college football

(nothing against Clemson though)

Clemson takes down Alabama. Dabo is a class act and it is time for a new Sherrif in town.

Roll Tide...45-14...

Which means you care some.  I have been curious as to why someone would go out of their way to make a useless post.  It seems to me, if I truly had no interest in the game and I saw a post titled "Clemson or Alabama, who do you like tonight?", I would even bother to open the thread.  Yet, you decided to not only open the thread, but also, non-contribute to the discussion.  Having typed all this, ...

I'm also pulling for the Underdog Clemson 34 Alabama 24

Better overall for college football that Abalama goes DOWN.  Arrogance of school, followers, etc., along with their SEC cohorts is terrible.  Also, SEC schools and their former slime bag of a Commissioner were greatly responsible for the BCS and now playoff system, with constant snubbing, putting down, marginalizing, etc., of other non-so called "power" power teams and schools.

Thanks for reading and responding.  It's how public forums work.

[Boone and Crockett Herd]

Pulling for the ACC over the sec.
I like the underdog.

Tigers - 27

Elephants or tide or whatever they are - 24

[herdfifteen]

Bama by 3

[ed swain]

Rooting forbClemson ,but predicting Bamd by 6.

Roll Tide...45-14...

You where so close, except Clemson scored 40, wow, what a game. Saban showed why he's one of the best coaches ever.. It helps when you have the players to.

[ed swain]

It was Avery clean game with no targeting or stupid personal fouls compared to the pro game where it appears there are quite a few thugs playing.

[svherd]

Great game. Bama is tough. I still say McCaffrey from Stanford and Watson from Clemson are the two best players in college football.

[overherd1]

Would agree with that...Watson was very good.

[HerdnClt]

How about Clemson beating the spread with that last TD. Some happy bettors out there.

i would've paid money to watch the sports books live over the last 2 minutes of the game, with bama scoring to cover, then clemson scoring late to beat the spread. would've been entertaining.

reminder:

Marshall > UConn > Houston > Memphis > Ole Miss > Alabama

Great game.  I was torn but ended up pulling for Bama...don't know why.

Personally, I didn't think the best team won.  Lane Kiffin is a creative guy, but I didn't think his playcalling sequence was good at all. Some good indy playcalls, but much of the sequencing made no sense at all. That might sound weird when they put up 45 pts, but think about it. A pick that set them up for a TD, onside kick that set them up, a KO return for a TD, 2 blown coverages for TD's, and a swing pass to a TE in which 99% of TE's in US get tackled.  Throw in a great play by Coker on a third and 11 pass downfield.  Their running game was bad 2nd half.  Clemson played so sound along LOS, but had some real fundamental breakdowns in secondary which made Coker look good on a night when he really didn't play that well.  Kiffin's best call, imo, is the boot late in game.  I thought Clemson's gameplan was better on both sides....they just gave up too many big plays on D and ST.  I'm sure Sweeney is lamenting the same things.  Still a great game though.
