2015-2016 College Football Playoff National Championship Game: Alabama 45 - Clemson 40

[DonRocks]

Congratulations to Alabama for a well-deserved victory and unanimous AP #1 National Ranking after defeating Clemson last night in the CFP (College Football Playoff) National Championship Game, 45-40. It's their 4th national championship in 7 years, and their coach, Nick Saban, is now only one behind the legendary Bear Bryant.

Congratulations also to Clemson for a terrific season. In the final AP poll linked to above, Clemson's only loss was to #1 Alabama, and during the season, they defeated #5 Oklahoma, #11 Notre Dame, #14 Florida State, and #15 North Carolina (these final rankings are despite having a loss to Clemson). Clemson's season also included a 58-0 win over Miami, as well as victories over Boston College, Georgia Tech, North Carolina State, South Carolina, and Syracuse with Jim Brown in the audience watching the game.

Next year's National Championship Game is on Jan 9, 2017 in Tampa - we Clemson fans hope to see you there, Alabama.  (In all seriousness, congratulations - you earned the victory with an unbelievably gutsy play call in the 4th quarter. No excuses: You are the champions - see you next year. )
