" I have to wonder if the result would have been different if Kiffin had been on the sidelines tonight."

No.

The mistake was made way back at the first of the year by choosing a quarterback that can't pass. They should have never let Blake Barnett get away...guy had an arm and had good aim.

The refs had nothing to do with this game.

Alabama has had a great run.

They got beat.

They will be back, but to blame this on anything other than Clemson is a sore bitch attitude not appreciated in the SEC.

Blaming the refs? Really? Refs have been helping put SEC teams on the championship game for years. I’m a huge SEC fan but I’m not blind.

DeShaun Watson is the man - no dog in this fight, but still good to see Clemson get revenge.

Some really unusual strategy by Dabo in the last minute, but hey, it all worked out for him

As a CFB Super Fan with no dog in the fight, it truly is One to Remember

I can see a 30 For 30 documentary for the Reunion of these guys 25-40 years from now

Since the refs didn’t call it, it must have been a legal pick?
