Wow that was a photo finish to the 2015 NCAA Division I FBS season. The #2 Alabama Crimson Tide has pulled off the biggest upset against the previously undefeated #1 Clemson Tigers last night. The Tigers defeated the Crimson Tide by a score of 45 to 40. The college football season ends with no undefeated teams remaining. The Crimson Tide finished the year at 14-1 while the Tigers with their first and only loss of the season also finish the year at 14-1.

The Crimson Tide is the second programme to win four national titles in a seven season span (Notre Dame, 1943-1949) and this is their 16th national title overall. This is also Nick Saban's 5th national title overall and his 100th win, second all-time to Bear Bryant with 6. This is all the Crimson Tide's 11th title in the Poll Era (since 1936); most titles of any team.

How did they get to the CFP National Championship? In the 2015 Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, the first national semifinal game, the #2 Alabama Crimson Tide eliminated the #3 Michigan State Spartans by a score of 38 to 0. In the 2015 Capital One Orange Bowl, the second national semifinal game, the #1 Clemson Tigers eliminated the #4 Oklahoma Sooners, 37 to 17.

The 2016 CFP National Championship Game Offensive MVP was awarded to #88 TE O.J. Howard, Jr. He earned the award for scoring 5 receptions, rushing for 208 yards for a average of 41.6 yards per reception. 63 longest yards and scored 2 touchdowns. The 2016 CFP National Championship Game Defensive MVP was awarded to #4 SS Eddie Jackson, Jr. who only earned the honours for scoring 3 tackles and 1 interception.

The 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship Game was held in the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona with 75,765 people attending the game.

With the exception of the All-Star Bowl games later this month, College Football has headed into the off-season. The College Football season will begin anew on Thursday, 1 September 2016.

for now, congratulations to the Alabama Crimson Tide, the champions of college football!
