If Clemson wins, will we all get Clemson fatigue, replacing Bama?

I would definitely watch if the game was Saturday. Not sure if I will this year. Have skipped most of them but did watch last year.

Doubtful. But I've been around Clempsup fans, and yeah, they can be insufferable.

I won't watch. But am hoping for an LSU curb stomping. 

Do we know from which conference the refs will be from? 😈

I'm not sure Clemson has quite achieved "Evil Empire" status yet.

I think part of Alabama fatigue is related to SEC fatigue in general.  Clemson doesn't have that same issue.

I also think Clemson hasn't gotten the same mulligans as Alabama. 'Bama lost to LSU in 2012, then got to rematch them in the BCS championship. Bama is one of the few 11-1 teams without a conference championship to get into the CFP. Clemson always got in as a conference champion. Alabama got a mulligan again in 2017-18. 

I don't think Clemson's run has been seen as undeserving, whereas 'Bama has been almost in a "well, they get the benefit of the doubt" scenario multiple times.

There are more Clemson fans around here than LSU fans, and they can be insuferable, so I'm pulling for LSU.  Alabama and Clemson is a tie.
I get this. Back in 2007 I went to the Final Four in Atlanta. In between the semifinals (tOSU>Georgetown, UF>UCLA) I ran into a Georgia fan who said "GO BUCKS". I was somewhat surprised because I expected UGA fans to root for UF based on conference pride. The UGA fan explained that he usually would root for the conference team but that UF fans were, according to him, totally insufferable. At that point UF was the reigning BB and FB Champion so it made sense.

Clemson hammering Bama likely caused some to look the over way.  That may change if Clemson wins this one.

Yep. The enemy of my enemy is my friend...

...until he becomes powerful enough to be my top enemy.

I think, as noted above, that Bama fatigue is partially based on SEC fatigue and partially based on the suspicion that Bama got undeserved mulligans. 

That said, Clemson fatigue is growing and it will only grow more if they win their second straight and third in four NC.

Excellent point from bwar and medina on the Alabama mulligans factoring into the fatigue and discontent around their program.  

Honestly I've always liked Alabama.  Maybe if they go another decade without winning another NC, I could get back to that.  It would also help if my own team weren't sucking so hard for so many years.
