At the beginning of the season, Clemson was a betting on College Football co-favorite with Alabama to win the national championship. After all the Tigers and Crimson Tide have won the last four Nattys combined. Clemson has not had much of a challenge in the Atlantic Coast Conference this season. Head coach Dabo Swinney’s program has been derided for it. But the fact remains that the defending national champions are looking like at least a cut above the rest. Saturday night the Tigers will face a perceived sacrificial lamb for the ACC title. Upstart Virginia won’t be a free pass.
