THANK YOU CLEMSON

Clemson 44  Bama 16.  I cannot say it any better than my man Charles Barkley here...  The video is below but here is the transcript:  "ROOOLLL TIDE, ROOOOOOLLLLLL TIDE!!!  Clemson thank you, thank you Clemson.  WAR DAMN EAGLE.  Thaaank you Clemson!!!"

This "market correction" was sorely needed.  Bama fans have gotten so spoiled and so arrogant that it was just getting intolerable.  I mean even if you try to go on a media blackout you cannot get away from it in this state.  I honestly did not see this coming.  I did not think there was any way a freshman quarterback was going to lead a win over Nick $aban much less a rout.  It was incredible to watch.  Clemson is absolutely loaded.  I mean if you want to be reminded what a championship team looks like then look at Clemson.  I knew they were good but I did not know they were that good.

The Bama reaction has been predictable.  They always have some angle to make themselves feel better.  The "angle" on this game that I have seen the most is that since Dabo is an Alabama alum and a possible replacement for Nick $aban they do not feel as bad (???).  Uh OK, whatever...  My question is, going by rationale from previous seasons, does this loss mean that this Bama team, Tua and their monstrous offensive season are completely irrelevent?  Are they now just going to remembered as a bunch of losers?  Is there anything to remember here at all?

Any other team would immediately respond that hey we beat our rivals and won our conference, of course this team is relevant and hey they are champions to be remembered.  That is how Auburn fans remember the 2013 team that had some incredible wins and won the SEC only to lose in the last seconds in the national championship game.  However Bama has made it clear in 2011 and 2017 when they did not beat their main rival or even win their division that only the national championship means anything.  So again does that mean this Bama team is just a bunch of losers?  Just asking...

To me it just goes to once again show the college postseason system is still ridiculous and broken.  It is completely subjective.  It is still like the bowl games.  Everything is manipulated to create interesting matchups.  It did come down to the best two teams but Notre Dame was completely unqualified.  They are just not close to the Power 5 conference champions anymore.  In my opinion, you have to win your conference to qualify to play for a national championship.  The whole thing is just a complete joke without objective standards that teams have to meet.

I mean just look at every other major team sport.  The postseason systems are almost all objective, not subjective.  Nobody picks their final four teams based on a subjective "eye test".  For football, the NFL does it exactly right filling out their postseason by purely objective measures while college football remains a complete joke filling out their postseason by purely subjective measures.  This is why I continue to like and appreciate the SEC Championship game.  It is completely objective.  Nobody can sneak in the back door taking an easier path like the supposed national championship.

However, I have drifted off, let me get back on course...  Thank you Clemson, thank you.  War Damn Eagle.
