Clemson faces Alabama in the College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday night, and ESPN has viewers covered in literally every way possible.

The game — a rematch of last year's national championship, where Alabama eked out a 45-40 win — kicks off at 8 p.m. ET. On site, ESPN will have more than 90 cameras, 1,000 staffers, 35 replay machines, nine slow-motion cameras, sky cams and pretty much anything else you could imagine.

Here's some of the content ESPN will roll out, in a broadcast appropriately titled MegaCast Production:
