The college football season comes to a close tonight.
This is the last game, this fourth contest — it could be 44th, I dunno — between Alabama and Clemson in a College Football Playoff since the format’s inception five years ago. Between now and next fall, all we have to subsist on is recruiting coverage, reviews and previews of previous and coming attractions, and spring games that we will wildly overreact to for like 12 hours.
Remember when it seemed like Dan Mullen scripted touchdown passes to Florida legends in last year’s spring game as a means of obscuring how much work the Gators had left to do on offense before reaching competence?
