ESPN analyst says Tigers have an argument for best team in history

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney says there’s no doubt that his 2018 National Champions are the best ever, and one ESPN college football analyst says Swinney has an argument.

Clemson finished the season with a 15-0 record after its shocking 44-16 win over Alabama in Monday's title game, the first team to post this mark since Penn in 1897. The Tigers outscored opponents 116-29 in three postseason games on their way to a championship, while only two games all year were decided by less than 20 points.

"The 2018 team is the best ever," Swinney said during the team’s championship celebration last weekend.
