Why is that? There are a lot of colleges out there.
If Clemson is able to beat Saban in the title game a 2nd time in 3 years, there is a good chance he will retire which would be good for other teams in the SEC.
The day after every Clemson win, you can get 50 percent off at Papa Johns. Use promo code Clemson50 or 50Clemson on their website.
Saban would never go out on a loss. Besides he is just one man. Bama was a football factory long before him. As far as Carolina fans if you can't beat your rival Clemson I would probably lean on my big brother in the SEC too.
Bama won only one title between 1979, Bear Bryant's last title, and 2009, Saban's first title at Alabama.
I can't see another Bama coach winning as many titles as Saban has in the modern era, especially if Florida, Tenn, LSU, etc get back to where they used to be.

It seems like most fans of SEC teams root for Alabama when it plays OOC teams in the playoffs. That seems weird to me if you want your team to win the SEC.
I could never root for an ACC rival in the playoffs, especially FSU.
I tried to not hate Clemmy, but several of my Clemmy friends have made it impossible. The tiger paws have come out of the woodwork the last couple of years. Roll Tide!
This has been my experience as well. Growing up a Gamecock in Clemmy territory was rather... difficult! I have lots of wonderful Clemmy friends and family members, and we'd do anything for each other, but if the conversation turns to CFB, that snooty "we're your daddy and you can't do anything about it" arrogance comes bursting forth and my hatred for their athletic program abounds.
Despite having a degree from there, it's hard for me to imagine a scenario where I'd pull for Clemson. I actually told myself I would once. A few years ago when we were better than Clemson and UGA, they played and I tried to pull for Clemson. But as soon as I saw those awful colors I was all Dawgs; and I detest UGA! ROLL TIDE!!!
What happened to all the Gamecock flags and magnets that came Out of the woodwork a few years back? Well 5 or 6 years ago now? Gathering dust somewhere I guess.

Tell me about it. I grew up in the Upstate during the Frank Howard era. You either learned to love 'em or hate 'em. After you met enough of their rabid fans, half-mad and foaming at the mouth, it was just easier to hate 'em. Never lost that perspective.
I'm a GA Tech alum. During that time, Clemson was one of our cupcake games. They'd come to the big city on a bus, take a lickin', get a big check and head back home. Funny how times change...
