This question becomes a little more relevant now...
Does David Shaw root for his good friend Dabo to win this weekend, knowing if he does, his own team is more than likely locked out of the playoff? Or does Shaw root for UNC knowing Clemson has to lose for his team to have a chance?
There are a couple dynamics here. One is whether or not Shaw would root for or against a friend when the outcome can impact his own situation. Two, is Shaw indifferent to the playoff, knowing it's a beauty contest he has no control over? Given how inept Florida is on offense, hard to imagine Alabama losing, but would a Stanford-Clemson semi-final match-up be Shaw's ideal scenario?
