Monday night in Tampa, Fla., the same schools managed to provide a nail-biting sequel to their 2016 meeting. This time, Clemson dethroned Alabama, 35-31.

The Finebaum Film Room is the most insightful channel on the ESPN Megacast.

It's easy to rag on ESPN, but man, the megacast one of the best ideas in sports media ever. No excuse for every network not to do it.

The #Homers on ESPN2 is the best #Megacast channel tonight! #JoeTess, @adamamin and the guys are killing it tonight!#NationalChampionship

Next year, ESPN adds "Inside The Tent Cam" to #nationalchampionship Megacast, where people hide to stream "The Bachelor" on their phones.

Another score for @ESPNCFB MegaCast w/Film Room coaches debating replay review result. Coaches talking like fans.

SEC Network is winning Megacast. Best in-game treatment, now showing the halftime shows w/Finebaum callers simultaneously.

This Homers broadcast with Joe Tess and @adamamin is like nothing I've seen before, and such a fun idea. And it cannot be easy to pull off.
