I was told David Pollack sent out a tweet that ticked a lot of people off. Something to the effect of "You mean to tell me an Alabama team that barely had any healthy players came closer to beating LSU than anyone else?"
The said reality is Clemson is a worthy and deserving championship caliber team. But their path to the playoff is embarrassingly easier than most Power 5 conferences. Herbie during pre-game acknowledged it and followed it with "and I've got two kids who go to Clemson". It's just unfortunate other equally deserving teams have a tougher road to hoe than Clemson.
True about Clemson. This is why I selfishly would like a 6 team playoff... Bama would be in it just about every year even if we lost to LSU or Auburn during the season. I know it is selfish, but I want Bama in every year!
