Thoughts from StLToday's Jeff Gorden plus the thoughs of several national writers around the country:

From Dan Wolken of USA Today:
"Alabama’s hopeless fake field goal to end its opening drive of the third quarter wasn’t the biggest play in Clemson's surgical 44-16 victory at Levi’s Stadium, but it was the most telling.

For once, Saban knew he didn’t have the better football team. He certainly didn’t have the better coaching staff.

And unlike any game he had ever coached since bringing Alabama back to superpower status, he didn’t have a prayer without turning a few tricks.

But Clemson wasn’t fooled. And now college football officially has a double dynasty."
