CLEMSON – Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney thinks his team has the chance to be playing in the season’s final game, a game played in Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium on January 9th of 2017 with the winner claiming the College Football Playoff National Championship.
Swinney’s Tigers went toe-to-toe with Alabama in last season’s game, a 45-40 win for the Crimson Tide. The Tigers finished second in the national polls – their highest ranking at the end of the season since 1981’s National Championship team – and many national pundits say the Tigers are good enough to make a repeat appearance in the title game.
