The loss dropped the Buckeyes to 7-1 on the season.

The Southeastern Conference is at the top of the college football world. The conference has won two straight CFP National Championships, as the LSU Tigers defeated the Clemson Tigers 42-25 last season.

The Clemson Tigers are the last non-SEC team to win the championship. They defeated the Crimson Tide 44-16 on January 7, 2019, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban also made history with this win. He now has seven national championship wins.

He has six of the national championships with the Crimson Tide since 2009. He also had a national championship with the LSU Tigers in 2003.

Alabama is the first team in the poll era (since 1936) to win six national championships in 12-years, according to ESPN’s Stats & Information. The other team to do this is the Crimson Tide, who won six national in 19 seasons from 1961 through 1979.

The Buckeyes gave up the most points they have ever allowed in a bowl game.
