The Alabama Crimson Tide joined the most exclusive club in college football when they defeated the Clemson Tigers by a score of 45-40 on Monday night.
The Crimson Tide will stand in history as the second team to ever win a national championship in the College Football Playoff era, joining an Ohio State team that beat them last year en route to its own title.
On the surface, that's where the similarities seem to begin and end for the two powerhouses.
Nick Saban's Alabama team primarily runs a powerful pro-style offense and wants to choke teams out with its elite defense.
