2016 National Championship Thread

[Mamba Mentality]

Should be a good one.

I really want Clemson to win, but I almost don't want to vote or officially pull for them because I was also pulling for Cincy, Houston, Minnesota and Washington this weekend. I think my hopes are jinxing teams.

This is cool though...

The College Football Playoff National Championship Presented by AT&T between Alabama and Clemson on Monday night (8:30 p.m. ET) can be seen in a variety of ways via ESPN's Megacast Presentation. Here is a list of each telecast and where to watch:

Traditional telecast: Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit, with Heather Cox and Tom Rinaldi reporting from the sidelines. (ESPN/WatchESPN)

ESPN Voices: Live from Los Angeles, ESPN personalities watch the Crimson Tide-Tigers matchup unfold in a living room-type atmosphere. Participants include Teddy Atlas, Michelle Beadle, Jay Bilas, Taylor Twellman and Marcellus Wiley. (ESPNEWS/WatchESPN)

Homers Telecast: An alternate version of the traditional game telecast -- Joe Tessitore will host the interplay between Clemson's all-time leading passer Tajh Boyd and former Alabama center and three-time national champion Barrett Jones as they serve as quasi-'game analysts' with a decidedly partisan view towards their alma maters. Other partisan guests and ESPN personalities will join the commentary which will be conducted primarily from field level. (ESPNU/WatchESPN)

Finebaum Film Room: Paul Finebaum and his in-studio guests -- SEC Network analysts Greg McElroy, Booger McFarland, and Marcus Spears -- watch the game and will provide their instant analysis and reaction. The show, which will be produced at a location near University of Phoenix Stadium, will also take live calls throughout the game and fans can interact by tagging their tweets with #FinebaumFilmRoom. (SEC Network/WatchESPN)

Sounds of the Game: ESPN's game telecast -- sans commentators -- will be amplified with dozens of microphones positioned throughout the stadium in addition to the public address announcer and referee calls to recreate the in-stadium fan experience of being seated at the game. This will include full coverage of the pregame on-field entertainment and halftime band performances. (ESPN Classic/ESPN3)

Command Center: Features a full-time split screen application showing the live game action, along with immediate replays of every play, isolated camera feeds of both head coaches, enhanced statistics, real time drive charts and the ESPN Radio broadcast. (ESPN Goal Line/WatchESPN)

Pylon Cam: A continuous stream of the cameras being fed from the eight pylons surrounding the field, both at the goal lines and for the first time from the backlines of the end zones. (ESPN3)

Home Town Radio: In cooperation with Learfield Sports, the ESPN telecast will be available with the Alabama and Clemson home radio broadcasts serving as the commentary (separate feeds) along with a customized viewing experience that includes full time isolated shots of head coaches and star players.

Can you please pull for Carolina on Sunday, PLEASE!

[bwgood77]

Unbelievable I teased Clemson up to 11.5.....it looked good for awhile. I will pull for Carolina on Sunday, but I don't know who AZ would rather face....they likely just took notes in their last game against Seattle.
