Alabama vs. Clemson National Championship game 2017: TV channel, online streaming, odds, prospects

Just under a year ago, the second-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide were set to face off against the top-ranked Clemson Tigers in the College Football National Championship Game at the University of Phoenix Stadium. Fast forward to 2017, and the second-ranked Tigers are now preparing to face off tonight against the top-ranked Crimson Tied in Tampa, Florida. It is a rematch that should be exciting and fun.

And dramatic. Can Alabama deal with an offensive coordinator change a week before the game? Can Clemson avenge their 45-40 loss last year?
