You know, I think the CFP would be wise to assure more parity in venues. I doubt they will, but still.Clemson got to play a creampuff opponent in a climate controlled dome. Had 4 weeks to prepare for us and the liberty to pull out an old game plan like a recycled sermon to beat ND. We had to play an offensive juggernaut that we likely spent 3 weeks preparing for in 80+ degree heat with 80+% humidity. Miller's likely doesn't happen playing in a dome.
Clemson got #1 seeds advantages in the CFP no question plus got to play Pitt or somebody in the ACCCG.
Let's see we played with a less than 100% or out Lewis, Allen, Brown, Diggs, Buggs, William's, Miller, and Tua. 6 starters on defense out or less than 100%. 2 starters in offense out or less than 100% with one critical to our red zone running game.
Too much deficiency when meeting a team that can almost you blow for not to mention all the other breakdowns in coaching and special teams.

IIRC, since Alabama was the #1 seed we requested the Miami over Dallas because Dallas would have been similar to a home game for OU. In hindsight I think we should've taken the dome and let OU have more fans there to preserve our conditioning for the final..Clemson got to play a creampuff opponent in a climate controlled dome.

I agree, IMO they should reset them:You know, I think the CFP would be wise to assure more parity in venues. I doubt they will, but still.
So the fact you played outside 9 days earlier is a reason you lost?I agree, IMO they should reset them:
Dallas/Phoenix
ATL/NOLA
Miami/Pasadena
That way when the games are in Miami and Pasadena, all 4 have to detail with the outside elements.
Result of the championship would have been Clemson 44 - Alabama 16Honestly, probably not.
