Though some may argue that this matchup is getting old and that Alabama / Clemson fatigue may be a factor, this was a game that was truly deserving of a championship venue. This was no David vs Goliath, there was no Cinderella team in this one and there really wasn’t a true underdog to pull on your heartstrings.
This was Goliath vs Goliath, the last two undefeated teams left standing, clearly and without a doubt the two best teams in college football playing for the undisputed championship. These were both two teams laden with future NFL talent, great coaching staff and year of vanquished opponents and a season long pedigree of statistics that also proved the two best teams were both there to finally end this debate.
