TV guide fail: ESPNU says it wasn’t Alabama that played Clemson in the national championship game

Who remembers the national title game in January when Clemson played Florida?
That’s what ESPNU plans on showing Monday evening, according to multiple on-screen TV guides.

The College Football Playoff championship game was played at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, the same venue as Florida’s Outback Bowl game against Iowa earlier that month, which may be the reason behind ESPNU’s error. One assumes the actual game between Alabama and Clemson will be shown on Monday night.
While the Gators had a great defense in 2016, they weren’t quite as good as ESPNU misremembers.
