Although Alabama and Clemson are going to meet in their third national championship for four years tonight (they met in the semi-finals the second year), there are still many new stories going into the game.
The Big Picture: In the last three meetings, the highest Alabama was ranked in points per game nationally No. 1[ads1]5 (2017-18), while the highest Clemson ranked as No. 14 (2016-17). This season, Alabama ranked No. 2 (47.7 points per game) and Clemson ranked # 4 (44.3 points per game), as both teams climbed to offensive juggernaut status.
