The Clemson Tigers took home the 2019 National Championship trophy last night in a 44-16 dismantling of the Alabama Crimson Tide, officially bringing the college football season to a close.
But that doesn’t mean the national media is going to slow down anytime soon when talking about next season.
Immediately after the title game, ESPN released the 2019 edition of their annual Way-Too-Early Top 25 rankings, and like we saw prior to last season, the Kentucky Wildcats were nowhere to be found.
Seven teams represented the SEC in the top 25, including five listed in the top ten, but a 10-3 finish and a Citrus Bowl victory over Penn State wasn’t enough to convince the Worldwide Leader in Sports to put the Cats in the rankings.
