Every now and then even the most die-hard fan faces the reality that his favorite team may have met its match. At no other time does this come more into play than during playoffs, bowl games, and championship battles.

So, it's always interesting to see what analysts without ties to either team have to say about certain matchups.

CBS Sports' college football experts have predicted that Alabama will pull out the win but that it won't go without a good fight. They believe that Clemson will be great contenders, as while Alabama's defense is strong, Clemson's defense is strong enough to cause problems for Alabama's offense.

Now, being in Tuscaloosa, I know it kinda goes without saying that the Tide is favored champions for this area, but for the sake of those who may not be Alabama fans (and those who are and just want to participate), can I get a "Roll Tide" if you think the Tide is going to win?
