We have seen the schedule. We have an idea what the projected depth chart might look like for next year. Now we can go ahead and ask this one question.
Can Clemson repeat as national champions?
In the history of the Associated Press Poll, which began in 1936, the defending champion has repeated just 10 times. Since 1980, it has happened just three times.
Nebraska won back-to-back titles in 1994 and 1995, while Southern Cal did it in 2003 and 2004. The last team to win back-to-back national championships was Alabama in 2011 and 2012.
So, can Clemson join this exclusive club?
