Wasn't going to watch it regardless. I am tired of bama/Clemson rematch so really couldn't care less who wins
Probably would have watched regardless but with Texas winning it sure makes it easier to carve out the time and not look for something else to do while trying to forget about Texas losing.
I will be pulling for South Carolina Aggie. With the Horns winning and dominating GA like they did, I want to look at Bama and Clemson to imagine how the Horns would have matched up against them had they played one of them.
My in laws are Clemson Alumnus. It is a beautiful campus. I will watch and pull for Clemson as I have for the previous three matchups.
Article on ESPN — requires ESPN+ subscription so I couldn’t read it, just saw this pic of Sam so I assume they mention Texas. The six other teams that could win next year's College Football Playoff
I'll watch if I am channel surfing and nothing else of interest grabs my attention...sort of like most games that are airing involving a Non-40acres squad...
I shall watch because it's college football. it's Alabama, it's Saban, it could have been us if Billie Powers hadn't totally ****** things up. Like him or loathe him, Saban is a great college coach. Anyone who loves the game, has to appreciate the machine he has created, but then, I'm the guy that went down to congratulate Bob Stoops after he destroyed Mack Brown's team. As I told him, "After the sting and hurt of total destruction, as a football fan, I have to admire the surgical precision with which your team dismantled mine". I really like Dabo, but he's coaching another cow college, and the closest I come to pulling for a cow college is occasionally LSU (only partial cow) & FSU against the convicts.
More likely to watch; before the Sugar Bowl with Texas making a statement I was going to pull for Clemson. Now, not so much. I want Texas to do something like it did in the 2004/2005 seasons, they're not quite the quality of those squads yet, but should be able to be in the mix out of the gate next year and stay in it this time. Texas in 2005 stopped cold the juggernaut of USC and all of it's hype. Would be cool for Texas to step up again, this time stopping Bama's incredible domination, well deserved rep. So, would rather see Bama sitting on top going into next year rather than Clemson for that potential possibility if no other.
Clemson will give me 40 points and move me way up on bowl mania. Have to watch it. I really do not want Alabama to win another one.
