Well, the NCAA Football Season came to a not too surprising end last evening with Dabo Swinney’s Clemson Tigers finally wearing down the Alabama defense in the fourth quarter to pull off the 35 to 31 win in the National Championship game.

Alabama and the SEC are still power house “Power Five” level organizations, of that there is no doubt, but it’s important to have a firm grip on the reality that the Crimson Tide also dominates and overwhelms the SEC to the degree that it is now sucking the talent balance out of the mix.
