Dan Wolken makes CFP pick, says Clemson could surpass Bama with another title

USA TODAY Sports columnist Dan Wolken joined The Paul Finebaum Show on Thursday to discuss the upcoming College Football Playoff.

Wolken made his pick for which team he believes will win the national championship. He also had an interesting comment regarding the Alabama-Clemson game.

The No. 4 Crimson Tide will battle the top-ranked Tigers on Jan. 1 in the Sugar Bowl. No. 3 Georgia will face No. 2 Oklahoma on the same day — in the cherished Rose Bowl.

The winners, of course, will move on to face each other in the national championship game.

So, who does Wolken like?

He seems to think the team with the most “gifted, talented player” will fare well:

“Is there anybody else in the whole #CFBPlayoff field that is a more gifted talented player than Nick Chubb? … I have Georgia winning this game & winning the whole thing” – @DanWolken pic.twitter.com/ijrAVwnp2y

Is the Alabama dynasty finally coming to an end?

Wolken said the Tide’s game against Clemson could impact how we all think about this era of college football:

“I don’t think you can underestimate the potential impact of how we think about this era in the history of #CFB if Clemson is the one who goes back-to-back & surpasses Alabama” @DanWolken pic.twitter.com/NsXcnNg1Eu
