While the death of his grandmother, Annette Santiago, did actually take place, DeadSpin found that there is no such person as Lennay Kekua. Awkward.

Alabama Wins BCS National Championship Game, 42-14 Over Notre Dame [VIDEO]

Maybe Notre Dame's schedule wasn't as challenging as Irish fans were willing to admit. Maybe not playing a conference championship game left them with too long of a layoff. Maybe a freshman quarterback just doesn't stand a chance against a Nick Saban coached team unless his last name is Manziel.

Between some questionable play-calling from USC head coach Lane Kiffin and poor execution by the Trojans offense, it was Notre Dame walking out of The Coliseum in Los Angeles with a 22-13 victory over USC and completing their first perfect regular season since 1988.
