          Forget next season. Forget next month. And forget the 2016 NFL draft.

          If you had to win just one college football game, for the national title this week, who would you take from the rosters of Alabama and Clemson?

          Would you take Derrick Henry ahead of Shaq Lawson? And Deshaun Watson, or someone from Alabama's ridiculous defensive line depth chart?

          We asked Scouts Inc.'s Steve Muench and Kevin Weidl to alternate 20 picks and work their way through the rosters of both teams who will face off on Jan. 11 in the College Football Playoff National Championship Presented by AT&T. Muench received the pretend first overall pick in this imaginary draft, because Muench's top two quarterbacks from a team that doesn't actually exist just transferred to Weidl's school, which also is not real.
