While the celebrations continue in Louisiana and pain is absorbed in South Carolina, it is good to remember neither success or failure is final. Two great football teams won the last two national championships. Hats off to both programs. The Alabama Crimson Tide came up short in back-to-back seasons.
Any other claims about LSU and Clemson and the Alabama Crimson Tide need to be put on hold. The Alabama Football Dynasty of five national championships in 11 seasons has ebbed. It may or may not be over. A 2020 National Championship would certainly continue the dynasty. Even another miss in 2020 and the next Crimson Tide national championship in 2021 could be argued as dynasty-continuing.
