'Roll Tide' is solid favorite over Clemson while media wants to lean toward an Upset... http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2017/1/8/14174572/2017-college-football-playoff-odds-lines-betting-preview Hasn't been since Alabama dominated Miami for a National Championship that such a good Tide defense was being under estimated... Alabama has a Defensive Coach this year with head in the Game... Alabama now has an Offensive Coach with his head in the Game after Saban cast out a play caller... Alabama had a 17 point lead against Washington with 8 minutes to go and Silly play calling of 2 out of 3 plays for pass kept clock paused... It eventually led to an unneeded late 2 minutes in a game that got players on both teams frustrated and at risk... Play of the Year was called By Saban to send Kiffin rolling on another path... Akabama now rolls into a game with things to prove by players 2 and 3 deep at many positions... An upset could occur... So the Tide players have to focus on each play as they come and execute...LJ
