It had been a long time since Alabama, or the SEC had won a National Championship; all of 3 seasons ago! The Crimson Tide put an end to that with their 45-40 win over Clemson Monday night in the National Championship, earning a unanimous vote in every poll, the BTD top 25 included.
It brought to end another wild college football season, and a less than satisfying bowl season, one that not only saw more relatively lopsided games than close ones, especially on New Year's eve and day, but also a fair number of losses to higher ranked teams in the bowl games, which scrambled the standings a bit.
