Phoenix Zoo animals pick the College Football Playoff

Jan 10, 2016, 10:00 AM

What if real elephants were to play a game of football against real tigers?

Nature can’t produce the answer. Nature can pick one delicious food out of receptacles labeled as two different universities and choose a victor.

Two days before the winner of the 2016 College Football Playoff is decided, the Alabama Crimson Tide entered as the favorite against the Clemson Tigers. SB Nation visited the Phoenix Zoo to ask its inhabitants which football team would win the 2016 playoff.

Some answers surprised, while others did not.

A jaguar picks against his feline brethren by tabbing the Tide.

A Galapagos tortoise is “steady as Howard’s Rock” in choosing Clemson.

The coati … well, we’re not sure which team the coati should favor, but it gives ‘Bama the nod.

And as you might predict, the Asian elephant ends this matter by picking the Crimson Tide.

Apparently, the zoo animals have been keeping tabs on Las Vegas.
