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)

Film Room: ESPN analysts Brian Griese and Chris Spielman, along with additional guests, will provide in-depth analysis of the game as it happens from a film room equipped with multiple camera angles, clicker technology and telestration. (ESPN2/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)

Spanish-Language Call: Lalo Varela, Pablo Viruega, Bernardo Osuna, and Carlos Nava call the game in Spanish, available throughout the United States. (ESPN Deportes/WatchESPN)

Mock Replay Booth: An authentic recreation of the replay booth experience will give an inside look at the review process in which replay officials review every play of the game, determine which plays are subject to further review and then what happens during an official replay stoppage. (ESPN3)

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.

Alabama's radio team is Eli Gold, Phil Savage, and Chris Stewart. (ESPN3)

Clemson radio team is Don Munson, Rodney Williams and Patrick Sapp. (ESPN3)

Data Center: Will include significant on-screen graphic content ranging from analytics, real time drive charts, win probability updates, curated social media reaction and more. (ESPN3)

Spider Cam: A continuous feed of the camera that maneuvers above the field of play and often provides a behind-the-offense look at the game action. (ESPN3)

Taco Bell Student Section: Cameras in the Taco Bell student sections will focus on students, bands, mascots and cheerleaders of each team. (ESPN3)

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.
