An underrated aspect of Clemson’s National Championship game berth is having superlative national writers focus on your football team, and unearth new and exciting insights about a team you’ve been following closely all year.

Here’s a collection of articles and links we highly recommend for any Clemson fan mentally preparing for the game:

• Andy Staples – Can Alabama’s defense erase Deshaun Watson and Clemson’s edge?
• Bill Connelly – Bama vs. Clemson is the best trenches battle this season could’ve possibly delivered
• Bill Connelly – You can’t beat Bama unless you break about 6 big plays. Is Clemson explosive enough?
• SI’s Campus Rush – Great content all week!
• SB Nation – National Championship preview hub
• Shakin’ the Southland – These dudes rock
• Roll Bama Roll – Know Your Enemy!

To further sate your hunger for Clemson content, we humbly present not one, not two, but three podcast episodes!

First, we caught up with legendary cornerback and all-around Clemson athlete Dexter McCleon.

Next, advanced stats guru Bill Connelly from SB Nation joined us to discuss his persepective on this game from an analytical standpoint.

And of course, the Pawcast crew reunited to break this game down and submit our predictions.

Enjoy, and GO TIGERS!!!
