    ESPN is broadcasting on multiple channels and on ESPN2 which is film room coverage. It's called ESPN megacast.

    Can anyone tell me if I will be able to watch the game there as well as get that type coverage?

    I don't know, I know last year they had all sorts of channels, one channel was just Tim Tebow and another player commenting on the game, I forget what all the other channels offered. I just watched the main channel.

    This game reminds me so much of last year. Oregon last year had the flashy offense with a Heisman trophy QB in Mariotta and speed, speed, speed. Ohio State played the role of local bully. They won. This year Clemson has the Heisman Candidate QB who is fast and nifty, and they have a lot of speed, with Alabama playing the role of local bully. I sense the same outcome.

    I'll watch any channel that doesn't have Fowler and Herbstreit. IMO they are the prototypical droners and spewers of incessant commentary. Both have a monotone delivery that would put the viewer to sleep if they were on the radio. They make Musberger sound like a HOF commentator. Like I said, just my opinion.

    I'm pretty much with you Sid. I am hoping that what I think is true is in fact true. I can watch the game on ESPN2 and get the commentary from a different group with a different perspective.

    I guess I will know soon enough.

    Kiffin's interview was too funny. He disputes that he was fired on the tarmac... said he was at least 20yds off the tarmac. A few other quips as well.

    Today is the final day for Ohio State to claim as being National Champions in the CFP. 2015

    I am rooting for the Tide this evening!

    At this point Kp college football seems like last year....

    My suggestion is to get the semifinals the hell off New Year's Eve and play them the weekend before New Years and then this game would have been last Monday..... close to the New Years Bowls and more in the mix of things.

    Not sure who I want to win, I picked Alabama and have the max points on them. But since ND played Clemson and has an association with the ACC I probably should be rooting for Clemson.

    This may have an impact on future championship games...

    Jim Harbaugh is trying to get permission to hold the Michigan Spring Practice in Florida at the IMG Academy in Bradenton. Doing everything he can to get an edge on Urban and Ohio State.

    Just have the feeling like most of the country that Bammer will exercise it's will tonight.

    May take a little bit.... prob go down 10-7 early in the second.... making Kp pace and drink more..... then the Tide turns and Bama pulls steadily away until a disheartened Clemson gives up that maddening TD bomb with five minutes to go to make it 37-17 Tide.
