Let’s learn a little bit more about the teams ahead of the Sugar Bowl.


No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide

Alabama is no stranger to the College Football Playoff, but they have never entered the final four on the heels of a loss. The Crimson Tide have not taken the field since late November when they fell to Auburn in the Iron Bowl to miss out on the SEC Championship.
That puts Nick Saban’s squad in an unfamiliar place and it will be interesting to see how they respond.
The key to victory for Alabama will once again be its star-studded defense, which allowed just 11.5 points per game; leading the nation.


No. 1 Clemson Tigers

Clemson suffered a stunning defeat to Syracuse in the middle of the season, but the program was able to rebound with six straight wins to secure their spot in the College Football Playoff and reclaiming the No. 1 ranking as the Tigers look to defend their national championship.
It promises to be a tough, physical game with two of the top defenses in the nation.
While the Crimson Tide led the nation in points allowed per game, the Tigers ranked just behind at No. 2 (12.8). The game could come down to which defensive unit breaks first.
