I have been asked countless times this off-season if Clemson can win the national championship. My answer is always a resounding, “Yes!”
Why am I so confident? Well, I have seen this dance before.
In 1992, Florida State went 11-1 and finished No. 3 in the final Associated Press Top 25. Its only loss was a three-point defeat to Miami.
At the time, the 1992 Seminoles were considered one of the best teams Bobby Bowden had ever assembled. But they lacked that killer instinct as they often let opponents, far less talented, to hang around or give the appearance they have a chance to win.
