The best thing that could happen for ND tonight....Is Alabama blowing out Oklahoma. No matter what happensed tonight, ND deserved and earned the right to be in the college football playoff. But there is a clear distinction and difference between the top two teams in the country, Alabama and Clemson, and everyone else in the country. It's not even close. Alabama and Clemson are above and beyond every other team in the country and no team, 3 through 25, come even close or Compare to the skill, talent, ability, speed, etc. of the top two teams in the country, especially Alabama. No team in the top 15 is even comparable in a matchup against Clemson or Alabama in a playoff. The freakin heisman trophy winner has 18 yards passing and is down 28 to nothing right now. Yea it sucks the way ND lost, but it doesn't take away from their undefeated season and everything they accomplished this year. ND deserved to be there. They earned it, but unfortunately they accomplished everything they did in a year where the top two teams in the country are simply above and beyond everyone else. It sucks and we all wanted more but we should all admit reality, only two teams had a chance at a national championship....really one....nobody is going to beat Alabama.
