Alabama players: We feel like underdogs, everybody's taking shots at us

Despite being almost a touchdown favorite over No. 2 Clemson entering Monday's College Football Playoff National Championship presented by AT&T, some Alabama players say they don't feel as though they are the championship front-runner.
"We do feel like we're underdogs right now," Alabama linebacker Ryan Anderson said.
Linebacker Tim Williams said watching or reading some forms of media has rubbed him the wrong way lately because he is starting to see some people talk more about how Clemson, which lost 45-40 to the Crimson Tide in last year's national title game, could beat Alabama. Talk of the Tigers winning "makes [him] mad watching it."
"When you have No. 1 next to your name as much as us at Alabama, a lot of people are going to take shots and a lot of people are going to say a lot of things. But we have a standard that we always play to, and we never worry about the end result. If we put everything we have on the field, then we can deal with everything else after."
Williams and Howard both said that they have tremendous respect for Clemson, but some of the outside talk concerning Alabama has been tiresome. They say players are tired of answering questions about Kiffin and how the offense could change Monday night. The thought of a possible Alabama loss has guys ready to get away from microphones and cameras and finally take the field inside Raymond James Stadium.

Just bc the national media doesn't suck your dick 24/7 like the Alabama media does doesn't make you he underdog.
But I could see how they'd be confused about this.

Well you're not - no matter how much Saban wants you to be so he can motivate you.

They seem tight and scared.
Why are they listening to what people are saying? Why do they need affirmation from reporters?
Not good. Saban better get ahold of these guys mentally. They are tightening up. But, he probably is too. He stays so wound up and keeps everyone around him so wound up, it takes a toll.

Yeah, it takes a toll. The last decade of Nick has the Crimson Tide merely a shadow of its former self.

Just wait til Clemson players start taking shots at their poopers.

Clemson players know they're the underdogs. Alabama players can tell themselves whatever they want, but they don't actually believe it.
When you beat a team you naturally feel like you're better than them. It's how the brain works, even the small ones.
Clemson will come in in the underdog role and with revenge on the mind, and they'll embarrass Alabama. Watch.

Since you're speaking from experience, I believe you.

What do you consider embarrassing? Getting shutout?
That won't happen.

You are the king of hot takes. Guess what. You are probably wrong.
