Thanks to Alabama, the nightmare possibility of Clemson becoming national champions has been thwarted. God, how miserable would the college football scene have become if Clemson were the reigning champions?
But in all seriousness, that was among one of the more exciting games that I’ve watched. Although I was hoping for Alabama to roll Clemson like they rolled Michigan State, and just about everyone else in front of them en route to the playoffs, when the day is over, I’m simply glad that they won. I’m not really an Alabama fan by any stretch of the imagination, especially since they’ve had their way with Virginia Tech in more recent history, but as a Tech fan, I loathe Clemson and their own successes against my team. So when push comes to shove, I was decidedly rooting for Alabama last night, and pleased to have witnessed them emerge victorious against an extremely competent Clemson squad that could have just as easily won the game themselves.
Even if it means another year of hearing ROLL TIIIDE with heavy southern drawls.
