Even though two of the five power conferences won't be playing football this fall, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said he doesn't believe it will diminish the meaning that comes with a national championship.
Asked on Wednesday about whether the absence of the Big Ten or Pac-12 "damages" the meaning of a title, Swinney said no.
"The four best teams can go play," Swinney said. "We've been one of those four for five years in a row. So, in my opinion, it doesn't change anything for us. We're just trying to be the best Clemson we can be.
