Over the ensuing weeks, months and years, there will be plenty of debate about where Monday's national championship game between Clemson and Alabama ranks all-time. Was it the best ever? Behind USC-Texas? In the short conversation after that?

Regardless of where it ranks, it's impossible to argue that it wasn't one of the best ever. However, there is one prominent football fan who actually didn't see it all. That would be Jim Harbaugh.

The Michigan coach was in attendance at Tuesday night's Kentucky-Vanderbilt basketball game, and when ESPN's cameras caught up with him to see how he enjoyed the title game, well, he gave a surprising answer.

“Well, I heard it was a great game," Harbaugh said. I have it TiVo’d, I fell asleep. But I heard it was an incredible game.”
