Clemson Football: Bama listed as 2018 National Champion in NCAA record book

The official NCAA record book for FBS football was updated this week with a bit of a surprise.

Despite Clemson football winning the National Championship game, the record book has the Tigers listed as co-champions with Alabama for the 2018 season. According to the record book, Clemson is considered the National Champion by the AP and USA Today, but Alabama is considered the champion by the National Football Foundation Network.

This is the first time in the history of the CFB Playoff that this has happened, first reported by Zach Lentz at Clemson Maven.

From what we gathered, this is seemingly a mistake on the NCAA’s part.
