Christian Wilkins admits it. There are parts of playing in a fourth straight College Football Playoff that make things easy. Then there are other parts that are hard.
Those hard parts? The expectations.
Because No. 2 Clemson, which will play Notre Dame in the 83rd Cotton Bowl Classic on Dec. 29, have done this three-times before, the expectations to succeed are extremely high. Of course, the Tigers have had some good moments in the CFP and some not so good moments as well.
Clemson (13-0) won the national championship in 2016, while it advanced to the title game in 2015.
