1. Alabama is making its fifth College Football Playoff National Championship appearance
It really is unbelievable.
How consistently amazing has Alabama been? It won the BCS Championship in the 2011 and 2012 seasons, was a miraculous kick-six by Auburn from almost certainly getting to the 2013 title game, and then came the College Football Playoff era.
The Tide lost to the eventual national champion Ohio State team, won in 2015, was a play away from winning in 2016, won in 2017, got there and got rocked in 2018, missed out on the College Football Playoff last year, and now they’re back in the championship game.
That makes it seven national championship appearances in ten years, eight in the last 12 years, and a fifth trip in seven seasons of the College Football Playoff.
It might have been run over and through by Ezekiel Elliott and the Buckeyes in the first CFP season, but since then, Alabama is 5-0 in semifinal games by a combined score of 162-54 and average of 32-11.
The machine isn’t slowing down.
