Okay, the word 'spank' might be a little trash-talky. Truth is, Monday night's 2016 College Football National Championship game should be a doozy.
Clemson is not only the best team Alabama has faced this year, but I think these Tigers are the best team Alabama has faced in any of its three most recent national title games.
Clemson has an explosive offense led by Heisman finalist QB DeShaun Watson and protected by the best offensive line Alabama has seen. Their defense is tenacious - and better than Michigan State, which was pretty dang Derrick Henry-75 yards-good.
