Alabama earned the 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship on the field and spent handsomely off it.

The national champion Crimson Tide totaled $7.3 million in costs for two CFP trips, while runner-up Clemson spent $5.4 million, according to NCAA postseason expense reports for all four playoff teams obtained from the universities by CBS Sports.

A year ago, Ohio State spent $4.4 million and Oregon $3.8 million for their playoff trips, which included a meeting in the title game.

Alabama spent the most on a single playoff game this past season, totaling $4.8 million in costs for the CFP National Championship in Glendale, Arizona. That equates to $5,555 per person who made the trip, easily the highest per-game average in the two-year history of the CFP.

Clemson, which traveled about the same distance as Alabama, spent $1.6 million less on its championship trip. Michigan State spent about $786,000 less than Alabama for their respective semifinal trip to the Cotton Bowl.

In one year later , we outspent tOSU, which probably didn't do it on a cheap basis by almost 3 mill. Not complaining, but hmmmmmmm

Would be fascinating to see a semi-breakdown to see where the big differences were.

While I`m all for spending wisely, particularly public monies, there`s an inescapable truth: With the notable exception of people and their inherent character, class costs.
