Interesting to me that Alabama's Fan base is normally ranked #1 and they aren't at least 50% of the predicted crowd. From what's been said it sounds like it's going to be a 70/30 split in favor of Clemson at the game.
Could the cocky attitude of the Bama fan base be the reason for this? And also maybe the crowd becomes a factor too. Clemson gets up by two scores, the tigers defense feeds on the crowds energy big time. This may be an x-factor the pundits overlooked. Bama could be stepping into a hornets nest.
They have a lot of bandwagon fans too from all walks of life. I feel that most people that are Clemson fans either went there, has a family member that went there or live close by
