National Championship: #1 Alabama vs #2 Clemson

Well my prediction was wrong.  What else is new?  #1 Alabama silenced the #4 Washington offense, winning 24-7 and advancing to the National Championship for the second straight year.  #2 Clemson shut out #3 Ohio State 31-0, also advancing to the National Championship for the second straight year.  So basically we have a repeat of last year's National Championship Game, Alabama vs Clemson.  The last time these two teams faced off was last year's National Championship, where Alabama squeaked out the win 45-40 to win their third National Championship in five years.  Clemson is looking for redemption in this game as they look to win their first National Championship ever in their program's history.  I expect Alabama to win but this game will be close again.  The departure of Alabama's Offensive Coordinator Lane Kiffin leaves a huge question mark on the performance of Alabama's offense, especially the performance of freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts.  But Alabama's defense has stepped up as of late and if they can stop the Washington offense then they could easily stop the Clemson offense.  As much as I hate to say it... ROLL TIDE!
