Tied for the 2nd most points Bama has allowed under Saban behind the 2014 Sugar Bowl (45 to Oklahoma).

They've never trailed by more than 21 under Saban.

does Clemson have any talent returning on offense next year? holy horsefeathers

Well, I feel about 25% better about ND now. Clemson is a straight up buzzsaw.

I think it’s time for Saban to prove he’s still a terrible nfl coach

Where do I bet on Clemson-Bama being the title game matchup again next year?

You don't think Duke, the Tide's marquee non conference foe next year, can take them down?

I hope this yrs championship game results do bring the perception of Alabama down some. Anyone who suggested Alabama shouldnt have made the final 4 if they lost to Georgia was considered nuts. Yet their schedule was garbage....and will be even more so nect season

It probably won’t and it probably shouldn’t. They’re still a great team. They just happened to play pretty much their worst possible game and Clemson didn’t do anything wrong. A similar score line would have happened had Clemson played as poorly as Bama did and Bama was nearly perfect. Clemson had a tougher non-conference schedule but Bama’s conference schedule was harder because the ACC was not good.

 

Bama would have had a good case to still be in had they lost to Georgia. Personally, I would have left them out in favor of OU or OSU but there definitely would be an argument to include them.

If you're a smart school, you'll hire a Saban understudy. They learn how to cheat very, very well under Saban and then implement that in other places. In the past 8 years since Dabo became head coach, Clemson has landed 22 five-star players. In the previous 8 years they landed 2.

 

Rivals 2019 recruiting rankings from former Saban coaches:

 

1 - Bama

2 - Georgia - Kirby Smart

4 - Texas A&M - Jimbo

6 - Clemson - Dabo

7 - Oregon - Cristobal

14 - Tennessee - Pruitt

It is more than a little strange how Dexter Lawrence (and 2 other guys) testing positive for a PED - out of a sample of reportedly only 15 Tigers - has resulted in little more than a collective shrug in the CFB media sphere.

Dabo's recruiting didn't really pick up til he won 10 games and went to the Orange bowl, and he's averaged more than 12 (!) wins per season since then. The rest of those teams are among the richest schools around who are recruiting heavyweights regardless of coach.
