Well we'd better suck it up, buttercup, because we will have to do that every year to win the CFP.

Maybe playing 3 straight top 5 teams in a row finally caught up with Bama


Nope.

We were exposed defensively and our QB was exposed. We didn't adapt and we paid for it.

Hence why Dabo used offensive schemes which unbalanced us earlier this year the first half.

Also why Tua was intercepted twice. He takes his presnap look, then doesn't bother to read the defense afterward. Clemson wasn't that damn exotic.. they just switched from cover two to zone right after the snap. Tua just kept falling for easy bait.

Just hope this loss motivates these kids to come out next year determined and hungry.

No other team in the playoff era has had to play 3 straight top 5 teams to end the season.

In most years both division winners in the SEC will be top 10 if not top 5. Then by definition, the 2 playoff games will be against a team ranked #4 or better. You are splitting hairs.

Georgia's rise in the East, has made it tougher on Bama. Bama will have to play a great team in the SEC Championship Game.

From 14-16, Bama played not so great Missouri and Florida teams in the SEC Championship Game,
