The competition that we didn’t know was a competition is over. The ballots have been counted. The scoreboard is turned off. The results are in.
Clemson won the ACC media days. Clemson won the SEC media days. It wasn’t even close.
Both leads held their media days last week and the Tigers – winners of two of the last three National Championships – were the hot topic of conversation at both. It’s easy to understand why Clemson would be the main topic with ACC teams, but the SEC teams also had to answer questions about how this upstart from South Carolina could, gulp, be the favorite again this season.
