The inevitable collision between college football's two most dominant programs is set to commence on Monday when the Alabama Crimson Tide meet the Clemson Tigers for the fourth consecutive year.
The names have changed, but the competitive nature of the matchup hasn't. Both teams have steamrolled their schedule up to this point, only being challenged a few times a piece throughout the 2018 season.
Alabama comes in as a slight favorite. The Tide's tougher schedule and thus more impressive resume probably has a lot to do with that. The Tigers emerged from a conference in the ACC that was less than impressive while the Tide faced more quality teams in the SEC.
