Alabama and Clemson meet tonight in the College Football Championship, a rematch of last season’s playoff final. Alabama, the undefeated powerhouse, is the reigning champion and has four titles in the last eight years. The Tigers of Clemson are looking to avenge last season’s 45-40 loss.
Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide is undefeated, led by freshman QB Jalen Hurts and one of the nation’s stingiest defenses. They dispatched Washington in the semifinals.
Clemson, who were a last second field goal and a one-point loss to Pitt away from their own perfect season, beat Ohio State 31-0 in their semifinal matchup to reach the final. Junior QB Deshaun Watson, a lottery pick favorite for the NFL draft this spring, leads the Tiger offense.
