Clemson (13-1, 7-1 ACC)

Clemson started the season kind of shaky but were flawless during the regular season aside from the shootout home loss against Pittsburgh.

They won close games against FSU and Louisville to lock up the ACC Atlantic title for the second consecutive year, and beat VT for their second consecutive ACC Conference title.

Clemson destroyed Ohio State in their second consecutive college football playoff appearance, and will rematch Alabama Monday night in the National Championship game.

Coach Dabo Swinney has 13 commitments for the 2017 recruiting class that’s ranked No. 2 in the ACC and No. 13 nationally.
