The national title will be decided next Monday, the same day Clemson begins its spring semester. Alabama, however, doesn't begin its spring semester until Jan. 13.
Because of this, Clemson will be limited to a maximum of four practice hours a day beginning Wednesday while Alabama will face no restrictions.
Ohio State enjoyed the same benefit over Oregon in last year's championship game.
Dabo Swinney, however, remains unperturbed:

We'll see if his opinion remains the same should Clemson get euthanized.
