In the wake of Clemson’s 44-16 win over Alabama in Monday’s College Football Playoff National Championship, some Patriots fans with sharp eyes noticed a peculiar coincidence. WBZ’s Adam Kaufman was quick to point out that the Patriots and Alabama have never won coinciding championships. In fact, the teams have unintentionally swapped championship seasons in recent years.
Fun fact for #Patriots fans: The Pats and Alabama have NEVER won a championship in the same season. So, if you believe in that sorta thing, good win for Clemson last night.
Pats titles: 2001, '03, '04, '14, '16
Bama titles: 2009, '11, '12, '15, '17
New England's turn for '18.
