Game 21: Allstate Sugar Bowl
Semifinal #2 has a rematch of last year's title game with Clemson facing Alabama. Last year Clemson won in a thriller. Even though the Tigers lost Deshaun Watson to the NFL, they reloaded with Kelly Bryant at quarterback and enter the game with one loss to of all programs Syracuse. Dabo Swinney is the darling it seems of head football coaches and his Tigers claimed the ACC Championship easily over Miami. Nick Saban leads the Crimson Tide with a great defense and quarterback Jalen Hurts who I think has been at Alabama for 17 years. However, Alabama lost to Auburn and thus did not make the SEC Championship game even though like Clemson they have only one loss. They just have failed the eye test to many this year. The SEC west was weaker than usual and they knocked out Florida State in the first game after an injury to FSUs stud quarterback early. So, many people have picked Clemson to win this game. The commish however likes Saban as a coach and thinks his Tide will be ready to roll. Vegas likes Alabama by about 3 points.
Allstate is an insurance company. I have never had Allstate. They have pretty good commercials though. I like the Mayhem guy. That's quality comedy.
