Unbeaten Clemson goes into its game against Florida State ranked first in the country and as a double-digit home favorite, with growing chatter about its chances to run the table and play for a national championship.
It is hard to ignore the parallels to 2013, when unbeaten Clemson went into its game against Florida State ranked No. 3 in the country, with growing chatter about its chances to run the table and play for a national championship.
Players and coaches say the similarities stop there. Clemson is a more experienced, confident team now, a group that learned from its 51-14 blowout loss to Florida State in 2013 and used it to get to this point today, where the Tigers have become a favorite to make the College Football Playoff.
