Four Anniston Star Sports Writers covered Alabama extensively this season. Each one gives his prediction for Monday’s national championship game between Alabama (13-1) and Clemson (14-0):

Marq Burnett: Clemson has had a magical year as the only undefeated team in the country. Behind Deshaun Watson and a high-powered offense, the Tigers have been arguably the best team in college football. Problem is, Clemson has to face Alabama’s defense. That unit has been extremely locked in since the loss to Ole Miss in September and Monday night should be no different. Alabama’s offense should have success against Clemson’s defense, and look for the Tide’s defense to do a good job of containing Watson and the Tigers.
