After defeating Virginia Tech in the ACC title game, Dabo Swinney’s Tigers (12-1) claimed the ACC title and received a bid to play in the College Football Playoff for the second straight year and face Ohio State. Led by junior dual-threat quarterback Deshaun Watson, who had a national championship record 478 total yards versus Alabama last season, the Tigers look to finish what they started a year ago, and to do it they’ll have to top Urban Meyers’ Buckeyes.
Speaking of the Buckeyes (11-1) their body of work is as impressive as anyone’s, and because of it, they were able make the playoff despite not winning the Big Ten title.
