First and foremost, the semi-final games tell us that that they best two college football teams in the country will meet in the championship game. Clemson clearly destroyed Notre Dame and Alabama’s game was never in question and never in doubt.
Secondly the quality of play tells that the final game should be a contest. Any question of Tua’s injury was clearly and abundantly made clear as was how will Clemson’s first year starter at quarterback handle his first truly big game.
Clemson at times showed that the offense could be forced to struggle against a decent defense and Alabama’s defense showed chinks in their armor when faced with a quarterback with a quick delivery and some running ability.
