Clemson Tigers

The Clemson Tigers have achieved unprecedented success under head coach, Dabo Swinney. The former Alabama football player has purposely built his program to match the strengths of Alabama football.

"In addition to featuring the two winningest programs of the College Football Playoff era, Monday’s contest will also highlight the two winningest senior classes in college football history. The current seniors at Alabama and Clemson have won 55 and 54 games since 2015, respectively, the top two totals in Division I history. A Clemson win on Monday would tie the two senior classeswith 55 wins and two national championships each."

What to expect

A great football game and another Alabama Crimson Tide National Championship. The college football nation, being largely dissatisfied by another Crimson Tide vs Clemson championship game, misses the real story all other teams should focus on catching up to CFB’s two leaders.
