College Football Playoff National Championship: Five reasons Alabama will beat Clemson
By John Buhler
The Alabama Crimson Tide will play for the National Championship against the Clemson Tigers on Monday and here are five reasons that the Tide will win.
The Alabama Crimson Tide are a dynasty under head coach Nick Saban. Since Saban returned to the SEC from the NFL in 2007, the Tide have won three National Championships, four SEC Championships, and five SEC West Division Championships.
Alabama is the only team to play in both College Football Playoffs to date as back-to-back SEC Champions. Nobody out-recruits the Tide and they have been the driving force in the dominant SEC for around the last decade.
On Monday night, the Tide will play the undefeated No. 1 in the ACC and Orange Bowl Champion Clemson Tigers in the 2015 National Championship Game. Clemson and Alabama won their National Semifinals on New Year’s Eve to play for the Second Annual College Football Playoff National Championship Game.
While Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney’s team is certainly a team worthy of winning the National Title, the Tigers aren’t Alabama. Though these are the two deepest and strongest teams in the SEC, here are five reasons that the Tide will win the National Championship over Clemson on Monday Night in Glendale, Arizona.
