The Clemson Tigers met the Alabama Crimson Tide in the College Football Championship for the third time in four years, and Dabo Swinney's team was not the least bit intimidated by by Alabama's tremendous legacy and favorite status.
Clemson dominated the national championship game and earned a 44-16 victory against Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide.
The Tigers (15-0) clearly had no interest in helping the Crimson Tide (14-1) build on its legacy. They simply beat them significantly on both sides of the line of scrimmage for four quarters and rolled over the Tide by a 44-16 score.
