Let’s break down the semi final action that we saw this year.

Bama gets the #1 seed, that’s great. So they play the #4 seed.

Clemson gets the #2 seed. So they play the #3 seed (should be a tougher matchup right?)

Let’s look at points against

34 > 3

34 > 3 x 2

34 > 3 x 3

34 > 3 x 4

34 > 3 x 5

34 > 3 x 6

34 > 3 x 7

34 > 3 x 8

34 > 3 x 9

34 > 3 x 10

34 > 3 x 11

Where do the numbers 34 and 3 come from?  They are the points allowed by Bama and Clemson respectively.  The SEC is supposed to be a hard nosed defensive powerhouse conference and Nick Saban just gave up more than 11 times as many points to the #4 seed as Dabo gave up to the #3 seed.  Something is wrong here and it is time for Nick to go!
